DROPPING OFF AT MALEME?
Translated by Coastal Fortress Gaming Group
Maleme Airport, Crete, May 21, 1941:

The previous day, at the beginning of operation Merkur, the LuftelandeSturmregiment underwent heavy losses from the 22nd New Zealand
Battalion while attempting to seize the Maleme airport. Having failed, it
was forced to entrench near the objective for the night. On the evening of
May 20, the German operation really did not seem a success. In spite of its
failure, the Luftlande-Sturmregiment was the unit which seemed to have
established the most promising bridgehead. It confirmed that judgement on
May 21 while seizing hill 107 which overlooked the airfield in the south.
Paratroops of Fallshurm-jger-regiments 1 and 2 were en route to reinforce
at 1430 hours and landed under the protection of a group of Junker 87.

Sturmregiment succeeded in taking control of one part of the airfield in spite of the resistance
of the New Zealanders. A little later, a flood of mortar shells fell down on the runway of the
airfield, and a Junker 52 landed under the fire of the New Zealand machine-guns. It succeeded
in discharging cases of ammunition the Germans would soon have missed, and loaded with
wounded, took off without damage. The control of the airport was soon in hand, with the airborne troops and the British artillery shelling the runway which didnt stop the landing of the
Ju 52, unloading 650 Gebirgs-jger of Gebirgs-jgers-regiment 100. By the evening of May
21, the German situation in Crete was much better and the conquest of the island could start.
BETWEEN THE HAMMER AND THE ANVIL

KHRISTISHCHE, January 26, 1942:

Benefitting from the winter, Marshal Timoschenko decided to launch a
significant offensive against German Army Group South. The Russians
managed to create significant openings aimed at reaching the basin of
Donetz from Izyum. Khristishche, held by the first battalion of the
196th infantry regiment, controlled the road to Slavyansk. From
January 23, the Russians made many expensive attempts to take
Khristishche but all were pushed back. It was not until dawn of the 25th
that a patrol succeeded in penetrating the city.

Aftermath: Disguised as Germans, five Russian soldiers succeeded in creating a sufficient breach so
that the patrol could penetrate in the city . It took position at 0130 hrs in buildings and tried as much as
possible to badger the Germans, already exhausted by three days of uninterrupted combat. However, the
commander of Company M delegated on the spot his sections of command and reserve and succeeded in
eliminating the pocket. The Russians had to retreat while a commissar and some men heroically defended their positions. The Russian command decided to benefit from the situation to bear down on the hastily reconstituted German line of defense but an artillery barrage of the group attached to the 1st batallion
put an end to this offensive. It was only towards 0930 hrs that the last Russian defenders surrendered.
UNEASY WITHDRAWAL
Mt. Owen-Stanley, New-Guinea, September 7, 1942:

The task force of General Horii resumed its advance after the battle known as
Chasm. The Japanese were then 80 km from their objective, Port Moresby.
Blocking the road, the Australian troops were obliged to retreat, as they had done
since August 16. But the Japanese soldiers were exhausted by more than one
month of progression on the Kokoda Trail and combat at 3000 meters altitude.
The ground which separated them from the southern coast was among the most
hostile terrain. No white man had crossed the Kokoda Trail for twenty years! The
diseases, the terrible conditions of functioning in the jungle, the lack of food and
water transformed the courageous Japanese march into one of the worst martyrdoms of the Second World War. But the Detachment of the South Seas was
still galvanized by its leaders in the pure tradition of Bushido, and General Horii
remained determined to reach Moresby port. The Japanese soldiers, underfed and
exhausted, maniacally continued to attack the Australians on the luxurious slopes
descending to the south.

squads (or equivalent) can set up HIP.
5. Prisoners do not count for VP (remember that No Quarter

Aftermath: Day after day, the Japanese continued attacking the Australian units, emerging like devils from every direction. On September 7th, near the village of Efogi, the
Australian rear-guard was attacked. The combat was reduced to violent man-to-man fighting under a flood of mortar shells, and again the Aussies withdrew under the pressure of
the Japanese. But, at the beginning of September, the American-Australian forces pushed
back an amphibious attack on Milne Bay (of New Guinea). This danger aside, columns
then constantly began reinforcing the Australian defense. By September 17, Horii was
stopped for good, within 48 kilometers of Port Moresby. For his troops that meant the
impossible: to revive the nightmare of Mt. Stanley in the opposite direction. One month
later, the survivors still found themselves on the Kokoda Trail, devouring the corpses of
those who had fallen just to survive. While fighting step by step, the Australian soldiers had
shown that they were the first that could beat the Japanese, even in the jungle.
I R EMEMBER
Ortona-Orsogna Road, The Abruzzi,Italy, December 14, 1943:

After the crossing of the Sangro and the Moro, the Eighth army was stopped by a last obstacle
on the road towards the port of Ortona. A ravine blocked the way and from the heights the
German artillery and armoured tanks broke all the attacks. From the 8th to the 13th, the three
brigades of the 1st Canadian Division did not manage to advance. The keystone of the defense
was a large masonry building, Casa Berardi, which overlooked the ravine and prohibited access
to a significant crossroads to the north. The Royal 2nd Regiment, the last regiment not yet
engaged, received the command to attack on the 14th at dawn. Already weakened by the ceaseless artillery battles of the previous days, the Van Doos gathered at their starting lines. Beyond,
in the mud and under an iron flood, was the ravine from where the artillery was thundering.

2. The river represents the ravine. All of this terrain (islands included) is considered level -1 and
mud rules (D8.23 and E3.6) apply. For the AFVs, only the hexes traversed in the ravine are
taken into account for Bog rules. The terrain of the islands is preserved, but at level -1. The
cliffs do not exist; they are simpley crest lines of corresponding levels.
3. No vehicle may use Schuerzen nor Gyrostabilisers. The Canadians have access to a 88mm
OBAmodule.
Aftermath: Under a flood of fire, company C managed to cross and, slowly, but with a savage will,
approached Casa Berardi. With Shermans slowed down by mud, the Canadians destroyed the first tank with
a PIAT. But the enemy was everywhere, and the losses were horrible. They are on the right, on the left and
behind us, only one solution, right in front! howled Captain Triquet. Literally crazed, the men gathered themselves and attempted to destroy Casa Berardi with grenades. The attack force was at that point reduced to fifteen valid mens and two tanks. The other companies were blocked by the machine-guns which still swept the
ravine and their ammunition was becoming exhausted. But the cherished position was held all afternoon. In
the evening, the valorous Van Doos of the Royal 22nd consolidated their defense; the two following days,
they pushed back the furious counter-attacks of the paras of the 3rd regiment. The day of the 14th had seen a
hero, Captain Triquet. First of all the Canadians in the countryside of Italy, he would be decorated with the
Victoria Cross, the highest British distinction, bringing honor to Quebec and with his currency I Remember.
THE MERVILLE BATTERY

Meadows of Merville, France, the night of June 5 to June 6, 1944:

In preparation for the seaborne assault, the 6th Airborne Division received the
mission of occupying and holding the zone located between the Dives and the
Orne to the north of Caen. The destruction of the four large guns of the Merville
Battery in the northeast of this zone is entrusted to the 9th Parachute Battalion.
It was the most difficult task entrusted to a paratroop unit during the airdrop
since the garrison included approximately 130 men defending the fortified positions with bunkers surrounded by barbed wire and minefields.

Scenario Design: Jean-Luc Bchennec 90
SSR:
1. EC are moderate with a Mild Breeze from the northwest.
2. Night rules are used (E1). The basic NVR (E1.1) is 4 hexes with full moon and scattered
clouds. (E1.12) The Germans are the defenders (E1.2) and the British the attackers. The British
may not utilise Cloaking (E1.41 & (E9.11). The British are Stealthy and the German Normal.
3. The German Sniper is placed on the board immediately after the landing of the British paratroopers (E9.4). The British Sniper is placed on the board at the end of the first of British play.
4. DC allotted to the British are Bangalore Torpedoes intended exclusively to destroy barbed wire
according to standard rules (B26.51, also see B25.45). These DC cannot be employed for other
uses.
5. The British player has the possibility of exchanging up to three squads for an equal number on
the recon dr. (E1.23).
6. The four gunsand their crews, must be placed in Pillboxes, on board 19, between hexrows M
and V inclusive. Only one gun can occupy a hexrow. The CAof Pillboxes must be directed
towards the northwest. The guns are placed to be used against targets located at sea and cannot be used against a ground target. Pillboxes and the guns in them can set up HIPin the normal method; but the presence of a pillbox must revealed if an enemy squad is within two hexes
or less provided that the NVR is 2.
7. Considering the number of fortifications set up HIP, it is advisable to set up the German fortifications on a second board 19 hidden from sight of the British player, or on a desert board.
Management of what is seen or not by the adversary is thus facilitated. When the British
player discovers a fortification, transfer it to the game board being played upon.
Aftermath:
After gathering his men, Lt. Col. Otway decided to divide his forces into seven
groups. Two groups tackled the barbed wire to open the way for four groups, which
were to destroy the guns. The last group was to make a diversionary attack at the principal entry of the German position. When the attack started, the two gliders which had
to land in the heart of the position appeared. Unfortunately, not managing to locate
the site, they landed 200 meters away. The combat intensified and, attacking on several fronts at the same time, the British managed to progress rather quickly in spite of
the keen German defense. The garrison finally surrendered. 100 of the 130 defenders
and 70 paratroopers were killed or wounded by the end of the battle.
COUNTERATTACK AT VILLERS-BOCAGE
VILLERS-BOCAGE, FRANCE, June 13, 1944:

Six days after the landing, in the sector reserved for the 2nd British Army, the 12th SSPanzerdivision and 21st Panzerdivisions held the bastion of Caen too firmly to be taken
frontally by the 1st British Corps. The decision was made to attack Caen from both sides,
known as operation Perch. A little before 0900 hrs squadron B of the 4th County of
London Yeomanry arrived, as a point element, at Villers-Bocage with a section of the
motorized infantry 1st Rifle Brigade (called Green Jackets) and took up a position in the
village. Squadron A continued to a position on the western slope of hill 213. The
Germans decided to halt the encirclement. At 0915 hrs, a detachment of tanks from
Schwere SS-Panzer-Abeitling 101 controlled by SS-Obersturmfuhrer Michael Wittman
and supported by Panzergrenadiers, attacked the British at Villers-Bocage.

A FTERMATH: Benefitting from surprise, and after having destroyed a column of light
vehicles on hill 213, Wittmann led the attack of 5 Tigers. Tanks and Grenadiers erupted
into the village where a confused fight followed. The British tanks were destroyed one
after the other. Overrun, the Green Jackets resisted as well as they could until the arrival
of reinforcements of the Queens. But the very aggressive Germans were also reinforced
by armored tanks of Panzer-Lehr. The fighting was house-to-house, and by the end of the
day the pressure from the Germans forced the British to withdraw from Villers-Bocage.
That evening, Bomber Command of the RAF crushed the village, which the Germans
partially evacuated. The British attack to widen their bridgehead was stopped. They
would make a new attempt two weeks later with operation Epsom.
TRAP IN CARPIQUET
CARPIQUET, FRANCE, July 4, 1944:

Since the invasion, the English and Canadians had not advanced north of Caen. Their
advance was slow and costly, but this pressure tied up many German troops and made it
possible for the Americans to advance in the west. Before attacking Caen directly, the 1st
British army corps decided to cut off the town a bit more and entrusted the 3rd Canadian
DI with capturing the airfield immediately to the west of Caen: this was known as operation Windsor. The Canadians were determined to drive out of the already strongly bombarded village the well dug-in cut-off SS holding it.

AFTERMATH: Well supported by tanks, the infantry of North Shore and

the De la Chaudire Regiment rushed forward to attack the ruined village held by a few SS squads. The SS, exhausted after a month of uninterrupted combat, fiercely defended themselves, but the clearing of the
village had begun. To the south, the Royal Winnipeg Rifles attacked the
airfield but progressed slowly. After the tanks vainly tried to clear a path
through the rubble-filled streets, and some (including a Crocodile)
exploded from mines, they emerged on the plain and rushed toward the
airfield. There, waiting concealed in hangers were a Panther and 88 guns
which dissuaded them from advancing farther. At the end of the day, the
village was taken, but not the airfield. That would fall on July 8 and
Caen on July 9.
STROLL TO CHAMPFLEURS
CHAMPFLEUR, FRANCE, August 11, 1944:

The previous day, the 2nd DB left Le Mans for Alenon. They wanted to advance quickly
to cut off the retreat of the 7th German Army. To the south of Alenon, on August 11,
Tactical Group Dio was slowed down by elements of the 9th Panzer Division, which were
cut off in Bourg-le-Roi. The artillery and airstrikes dislodged them quickly. Captain Nol
continued to chase down stragglers. Lieutenant Krebs signalled him that three Panzers were
moving toward Champfleur. Nol then ordered Krebs to head toward the village without
waiting for him to join. It was 1630 hrs when Krebs saw the first houses.

AFTERMATH: In the village, the German infantry, more occupied

with supplying itself from the local inhabitants or finding a means of
transport than organizing a defense, was surprised by the violent
attack by Krebs, which lost two tanks, destroyed by hidden tanks.
The crews, having survived, took some prisoners. Lieutenant Krebs,
whos tank had been hit three times, eliminated two Panzers. Captain
Nol, who joined the fight, also lost two Shermans in his advance on
the village. The machine gun nests were destroyed and Champfleur
was liberated, with the Germans withdrawing towards Alenon or
the Perseigne forest. At 1800 hrs, General Leclerc set up his PC in
the orchards of Champfleur.
LEZONGAR STRONGHOLD
AUDIERNE, F RANCE, September 20, 1944:

After the surrender of the Brest fortress on September 18, 1944, General Hodges army corps finished their push through Britanny by eliminating the last pockets of german resistance. To the west
of Quimper, in Finistre, the Lezongar stronghold (Sttzpunkt), close to the locality of Audierne,
gathered the running garrison of the area. Since August 5, nearly 300 men, less than half in combat units, were encircled by the FFI under Lieutenant-Colonel Plouhinec. On the 26th they pushed
back a large attempt at a German breakout after a hard fight, and wanted to finish them off. Task
Force A, under the command of General Earnest, bolstered the encirclement on September 18.
Plouhinec and Earnest coordinated their attack, with the partisans accompanying the tanks. There
was no chance the Germans would surrender to the Terroristen and, even if facing the Americans,
the will to fight in the autumn of 44 was still strong in the Atlantic pockets. However, prior to the
attack, an intense period of propaganda by loudspeakers carried out by a Psychological Warfare
team would sap the German morale.

AFTERMATH: The attack benefitted from the support of the battery under
Captain Espem, comprised of captured pieces (including one 105mm from
1913 crewed by Gorgiens deserters) which bombarded the position for several days with the support of the Americans. The FFI approached the
German positions under heavy fire. Breeches in the barbed wire opened by
American engineers and tanks allowed a closer attack. Soon, isolated and
encircled, the Germans surrendered in small groups, despite an often stubborn resistance. The FFI were determined and could be considered as the
assault victors. But, after two hours of combat, the Americans, not very
grateful, took control of the German prisoners and interdicted access to the
coastal batteries to the Briton partisans. In spite of this incident, the
Sttzpunkt fell. The Douamenez peninsula and all of Finistre were liberated
and cleared of the enemy.
GET UP KIDS!
EASTOF KRINKELT, B ELGIUM, December 17,1944: The German counter-offensive in the Ardennes had started the previous day at dawn. After quick successes due to
surprise, the 1st SS-PanzerKorps met increasingly strong opposition from the Americans
and soon, certain regiments were blocked. In order to open Rollbahn A with German
troops and allow a fast progression, the 277th Volks-Grenadier-Division had to take over
the villages of Rocherath and Krinkelt. It was soon obvious to the German command that
it would not succeed alone, and KampfGruppe Mller of the 12th SS-Panzer-division
was sent in reinforcement. After a difficult night advance through the woods to the east
of Krinkelt, the German units got to their attack positions by the morning.

A DANCE WITH THE QUEEN

NIBEIWA CAMP, SOUTH OF SIDI BARANI, EGYPT, December 9, 1940:

In order to drive the Italians out of Cyrenaica, the British organized operation
Compass to retake the town of Sidi Barani, lost two months earlier.
Outnumbered, General OConnor, head of the Desert Western Forces, wanted to
circumvent the city to the south so as to disrupt its supplies. The shortest hook was
entrusted to the 4th Indian division and to the 7th Royal Tank Regiment, equipped
with 44 Matilda IIs. These units would have to destroy three fortified camps along
the road, of which the most significant, Nibeiwa, was first. This camp, an oval of
2000m by 1800m behind a network of barbed wire, was occupied by more than
2000 Italians and Lybians. At 0700 hrs, surprising the camp, the British artillery
opened the ball and the tanks of 7th RTRs shook for a small dance.

tanks penetrated the camp without infantry support. It was a wave of Matildas that
then caused an indescribable disorder. The Italians reacted with all available
weapons: machine-guns, high-explosive shells, 37mm guns, grenades, rifles. A
cloud of projectiles surrounded each tank as they traversed the camp in all directions, moving and firing. Only the valorous 75mm gun crews kept their positions,
immobilizing about half of the British tanks. But soon they were all crushed or
buried alive. General Maletti was mowed down by a burst of machine-gun fire as
he came out of his tent, light machine-gun in hand, and his son behind him was
seriously wounded. After one hour of this attack, the entire camp surrendered to
the coming infantry. The Matilda became Queen of the Battlefield. In 6 months,
a much more frightening king took the throne: the 88 of Rommel.

LIEPJA, LATVIA, June 28, 1941:

The evening of June 24, Infantry-Regiment 505 was established within 12km of
Liepja in Latvia. The following day, jointly with Kriegmarine commandos, the
505th attempted to take the maritime fortress by surprise but, in spite of the energy
of the assailants, the attack failed. Worse, benefitting from the disorganization of the
German troops, the garrison of Liepja, supported by armored tanks, counterattacked, succeeding in releasing the fortress. They even managed to threaten the
enemy artillery positions. On the 27th, after a difficult advance, the men of the 505th
got a foothold in the southern part of the fortress. The following day, a bloody street
battle was engaged against the particularly combative Russian defenders.

BOLSHOYE UTSCHNO, THE USSR, January 17, 1942:

To the south of Lake Ilmen, the 290th Infantry-Division was overrun by the violence of
the Soviet winter offensive. On January 8th, 543 men of this division were encircled by
the 71st Ski Battalion in the village of Vsad. The German command required the intervention of Azul division. The 206 men of the ski company thus undertook to cross Lake
Ilmen. The temperature went down to -56C. By January 14th, the cold had done its
work and the company was reduced to 76 combatants. On January 17th, Lt. Otero de
Arce led a reconnaissance to the southwest, accompanied by 36 Spaniards and 40
Lettons of the 81st Infantry-Division. After having crossed Maloye Utshno and
Bolshoye Utshno, they encountered the enemy at Shiloy Tschernez just as they got set tled in the town. The Russians did not hesitate to react.

BETWEEN THE HAMMER AND THE ANVIL II

KHRISTISHCHE, January 26, 1942:

Benefitting from the winter, Marshal Timoschenko decided to launch a significant offensive against the German Army Group South. The Russians managed
to create significant openings aimed at reaching the Donetz basin from Izyum.
Khristishche, held by the first battalion of the 196th infantry regiment, controlled the road to Slavyansk. From January 23rd, the Russians made many
expensive attempts to take Khristishche but all were pushed back. It was only at
dawn on the 25th that a patrol succeeded in penetrating the city.

on the spot his sections of command and reserve and succeeded in
eliminating the pocket. The Russians had to retreat while a commissar
and some men heroically defended their positions. The Russian command decided to benefit from the situation to bear down on the hastily reconstituted German line of defense but an artillery barrage of the

THE VALLEY OF THUNDER

GROMOVAJA-BALKA, UKRAINE, February 28, 1942:

The Soviets spent the winter readying for a great counter-offensive in the Donetz basin where they ran
hard against the Germans, who were determined to hold on to the ground they had acquired since the
spring of 1941. For 10 days the volunteers of the Wallonia Legion had established their defensive positions in the village of Gromovaja-Balka. This unit, the Burgundians, made up of french-speaking
Belgian volunteers where one could find many 16 year old officers among the 14-18 year olds, had its
training cut short before being sent to the east. Reduced to 350 men by the rigors of the Russian winter, it was supported by 81mm mortars and two 37mm antitank guns crewed by Croatian volunteers.
Moreover, Colonel Trger, on whom they depended, guaranteed the support of a company of panzers
and a flotilla of stukas if needed and added Just hold 20 minutes, then I will send panzers and stukas.
The 1st Company defended the northeast of the village, the 2nd the north and the 3rd the west and
southeast. On February 28th, at dawn, les Russes arrivent! Two regiments supported by twelve tanks
progressed on the frozen stretch which extended to the north. The Burgundians were rushing toward
their combat positions when the Russians were no more than 500m away.

blood of the killed and wounded dyed the snow red along the lines of the defenders. In
spite of the heavy losses inflicted on them by the heavy fire of the German machine-guns,
the Russian infantrymen were soon in contact and grenades rained down on both sides.
One of the groups of Burgundians in forward positions was threatened with encirclement. Under the shock, the defenders retreated from combat after suffering enormous
losses, then launched a counterattack. The combat became increasingly confused and the
tanks, some equipped with flamethrowers, advanced between the isbas (log houses),
crushing in their path any soldiers who stood in their way. Towards 1100 hrs, with the situation desperate, three-quarters of the villages were occupied by the Soviets and survivors of the Legion launched counter-attack after counter-attack to try and dam the flood
of attackers who further increased the pressure with the cry of Hurrah! victory! By the
end of the afternoon, when all seemed lost, Stukas of the Luftwaffe emerged from the
twilight and swooped down on the Soviet forces with the characteristic howl of their
sirens. Thanks to this much hoped for support, the Burgundians launched a last counter-attack and managed to push back the attackers. Finally, a group of Panzers, assisted by
a battalion of Wehrmacht, arrived to relieve what remained of the Wallonia Legion at the
end of the day. 62 Walloons were killed and 110 were wounded.

AFTERMATH: Quickly, the men of 77th Panzergrenadier Regiment attacked. As the

positions of A Company were threatened to be overrun, its commander, Captain
Wallace A. Swanson, asked for help from HQ. Companies B and C were sent in
reinforcement toward Champs. This detachment was confronted by elements of
kampfgruppe Maucke, which was also moving toward Champs. 5 tanks of 115th
Panzer Battalion were soon destroyed by bazooka shots and soon two M18s of
the 705 th TD Battalion entered the fight. A Pz IV succeeded in spite of this and
penetrated into Champs, where the Volksgrenadiers had already been driven out.
The Panzer was soon knocked out and Champs was firmly reoccupied by the
paratroops. A new attempt to take Bastogne had failed.
SAD BAPTISM
Gambsheim, North Alsace, January 6, 1945:

To give a new momentum to the battle for the Ardennes, Hitler ordered operation
Nordwind to take Strasbourg. On December 31st , the German forces joined north of
Alsace and simultaneously crossed the Rhine to the north of Strasbourg. On the 5th they
seized Gambshein, located to the south of the bridgehead, against a weak opposition. The
American units in the sector had not fought before. Hurriedly equipped, the US 24th
infantry Regiment was assigned to counterattack toward the north of the city while a joint
attack was carried out to the south. Starting from Weyersheim, the units encountered the
first German advanced positions. Artillery fire caused many losses and the regiment
entrenched for the night within one kilometer of the objective. The communication
between the companies and the rear was defective, and the German fire continued. As the
night went on, stiff with cold, the young Americans were terrified. Some soldiers cried or
bled all night. By the morning of the 6th, morale was low as the advance began again
without any preliminary reconnaissance.

5. No German SWmay Bore Sight a hex on board 5 numbered 9.
6. 4 squads German (or their equivalents) and the SMC/SWstacked with them can set up HIP.
7. The Americans receive one module of 80+mm Battalion Mortar OBAwith Normal Ammunition
in the forest adjacent to Gambshein. Only the intervention of tanks made it possible for
the progression to continue, but the deadly fire intensified as the first houses were
reached. In spite of mortar support, it proved impossible to gain a foothold in the city.
Worse, German tanks appeared and bazooka ammunition was lightly distributed before
the attack. The attack lost momentum, and when the radio operator lost contact with the
artillery, the retreat was sounded. It quickly turned to a rout as the Germans infiltrated
on the flanks. Heartbroken, the GIs had to leave their wounded comrades. The initial
American attack to reduce the bridgehead ended in a complete disaster (the two companies lost 183 men, killed, wounded or captured) and south of the city the attack similarly failed. The following day, it would be the 3 rd Algerian Infantry Divisions chance.
THE INFANTRY ATTACKS

CHABREHEZ, BELGIUM, May 10, 1940:

For several hours, the German army surged along Luxembourg and southern Belgium.
Within the framework of Plan Yellow, a formidable armored mass was to cross the
Ardennes to outflank the Allies in Belgium. One of the participating units was the 7th
Panzerdivision, commanded by a still little known general: Erwin Rommel. He was in a
bad mood, for in addition to the congestion and the obstacles, the division was delayed
by the resistance of Belgian soldiers. They were the Ardennes Hunters, light infantry
which had only the mission to delay the Germans before withdrawing to join the bulk of
the Belgium army. In Montleban, a platoon stopped for two hours the point elements of
7th Panzer before Rommel himself organized a successful assault. More to the west, at
the hamlet of Chabrehez, a significant crossroads, settled a company of Hunters. Using
the broken terrain, a stream lined with an anti-tank ditch and a small bunker, the Belgians
stopped the Germans for the afternoon. Rommel was furious and took the control of the
attack.

are treated like hex 2I9 (see A4.31) [EXC: If the unit enters the hex via a building hexside, it
pays only the cost of the building]. The roads present on the hills are Wood-roads. Crags do
not exist on board 15. Brush does not exist on the hills. Elevated roads are roads on level 0
and bridges 1Y8 and 13CC5 do not exist. The stream is deep (B20.43). The bottom of the

6. The German SAN rises to 4 as soon as a German MMC enters board 15.
7. The Belgian squads have Assault Fire capability.
AFTERMATH: The Heilbronn company and four light tanks opened with
heavy fire. Captain Hagens guns were a lot more deadly and destroyed two
Belgian machine-guns. A Panzer crossed the ditch but did not push forward.
All of this activity masked the infiltration from the north by Company
Kleinschmidt which attacked the defenders from behind. At 1845 hours,
commands came to withdraw under cover of the falling night. About fifty
Hunters succeeded in escaping. Chabrehez was taken by the Germans but the
7th PanzerDivision would go no further that day. Rommel once again put into
practice the theory from his book: The Infantry Attacks.
THEY FIRED ON ODESSA

GRIGORIEVKA, North-East of ODESSA, September 22 1941:

Since the end of July, the Germans had reached the Crimea and the outskirts of
Odessa. The Russians fought tooth and nail, but, day after day, the perimeter of
defense narrowed. Using their fleet on the Black Sea, the Soviet command decided
to launch a counter-attack supported by a landing to the rear of the 9th Rumanian
cavalry brigade. The 22nd of September, while the 426th Infantry Division attacked
towards the east of Odessa, the 3rd Regiment of sailors of the Black Sea Fleet was
beached close to Grigorievka at 0200. Arriving without mishap in the outskirts of
the village, the company of Lieutenant Tcharoup launched the assault at 0800.

4. The 100/17 guns cannot set up HIP nor concealed. They cant gain concealment
during the game. They cannot be pushed (C10.3). Their crews were not used to
close combat. Therefore, the first time a crew has LOS to a known enemy unit (free
LOS checks are authorized) it must immediately roll a NMC with a -1 DRM. This
Moral Check has the same consequences as if it were due to fire (Pinned, Broken,
Casualty, MC...). This NMC is rolled only once per crew for the whole game.
5. The Russians receive an OBAmodule of 80mm, with an on-board observer (C1.63)

are Concentrated HE FFE.
6. Kindling (B25.11) and Bore Sighting (C6.4) are NA
7. Use Italian counters for the 100/17 guns. The Rumanians do not have HEAT
ammunition and do not consider these guns as captured. Use 60mm American
mortars with a B11 for the Rumanian mortars. The Rumanians do not consider
these mortars as captured.
AFTERMATH:
Lt. Tcharoup divided his company into two groups. The first,
supported by artillery, drew Rumanian fire. The second circumvented the village
to attack the defenders from the rear. The latter were thus obliged to withdraw,
closely followed by the Russians. During the pursuit-, Tcharoups men destroyed
a battery of long range artillery pointed at Odessa, on the tubes of which they
engraved: They fired on Odessa: It will never happen again. On September 23rd
the 3 rd RMMN joined up with the 426th Infantry Division. The successful counterattacks would not save Odessa, which would fall on October 16th, after 73 days
of siege. The delay however provided an opportunity to evacuate a great number
of wounded and civilians by sea.
MIDNIGHT BATH AT TOBRUK

Northern beach of TOBRUK, September 14, 1942:

British high command in Cairo had wanted for several months to carry out a sabotage operation
on the harbor installations of Tobruk and Benghazi, then in the hands of the Italians. In
September, an ambitious commando raid was finally prepared. A first group, Force B, made up
of 83 soldiers of Special (Boat) Service guided by men from Long Range Desert Group would
penetrate the perimeter of Tobruk while being disguised as prisoners being escorted by the
Germans. Another group, Force X, composed of SAS and led by Lieutenant-Colonel Stirling,
founder of the LRDG, would attack by surprise at Benghazi in order to damage the port and the
gasoline stocks. Finally, Force A, the largest group, would be landed north of Tobruk to move
towards the city and carry out sabotage on the port. The whole operation rested on surprise and
the certainty that the city defenses were held by inefficient Italian troops. As scheduled, on the
night of September 14th, 91 planes bombarded Tobruk, releasing 70 tons of bombs as a diversion for the raid. Quickly thereafter, towards 0300 hours, Royal Marines of Force A loaded in
barges and set out for the beaches.

AFTERMATH: Under cover of the naval guns of the destroyers HMS Sikh and

unforeseen resistance. In fact, the town was controlled by the Italian San
Marco Division, marines troops considered as some of the best troops of the
Duce. The Royal Marines advanced with difficulty against these combative
Italians whose machine-guns swept the beach. Moreover, the destroyers were
soon fired upon by coastal guns and had to retreat. On the ground, a few commando squads managed to emerge from the beach but soon were forced to
surrender, small group after small group. At dawn, HMS Zulu attempted to
come back to support the assault but was sunk by Axis planes intervening
from Crete and North Africa. The ambitious operation ended in failure, with
the loss of 280 sailors and 300 Royal Marines wounded, killed or captured.

GUADALCANAL, SOLOMON ISLANDS, October 23, 1942:

Firmly reinforced by the arrival of the Tokyo Express and determined to take
Henderson Field, once again the Japanese command assembled a general offensive with the 2 nd division at the end of October. To the west of the vast airport
defense perimeter, a force led by major-general Sumiyoshi with significant
artillery concentrated at the mouth of the Matanikau river whose eastern bank
was held by the 1st Marine Regiment. Starting October 20, the Japanese tested
the American defenses with a succession of attacks led by Chi-ha tanks. At 1800
hours of the 23rd, Sumiyoshis artillery began a prolonged bombardment of the
American perimeter and the coastal road to the rear before the assault began.

AFTERMATH: The bombardment hardly over, a column of 9

Japanese tanks tried crossing the sand banks, followed by the
bulk of the infantry. Returning powerful fire, the Marines
also lead a series of artillery barrages in front of their positions. The Americans 37 AT guns managed to destroy eight
tanks. The last one reached the bank and crossed the network
of barbed wire but a Marine rose up from his foxhole and
immobilized it with a grenade in the tracks. A halftrack
armed with a 75mm intervened to destroy it. Under heavy
fire and with no support, the Japanese infantry was slaughtered trying to cross the river. The assault was soon halted
with considerable casualties estimated at 600 Japanese dead
and only 25 Marines killed. After a succession of attacks that
were repulsed by the Marines throughout the night, the
rivers mouth gained the nickname: Hells Corner.
NELLA NEBBIA - IN THE FOG

MOUNT L UNGO, ITALY, December 8, 1943:

Integrated into the US 5th Army soon after the armistice, General Dapinos first Italian Motorized
Group took part in the assault to break the Winter Line. This line of defense, in fact a first fortified belt in front of the Gustav Line, prohibited access to the Liri Valley and the road to Rome. At
the beginning of December, after having conquered the heights south of the valley entrance, the 5th
Army devoted all of its efforts to the northern heights, in particular the two mountains at the entrance
of the valley: Mt. Rotondo and Mt. Lungo. Both on these heights and down the valley, the German
soldiers were solidly entrenched, with pillboxes covered with logs and stones, while the slopes were
covered with barbed wire and minefields. It was nella nebbia, in a very dense fog, that the Italians
began moving towards the mountain after a prepatory bombardment.

AFTERMATH: Despite the protection of the fog, the Italians were caught in
the crossfire of the German heavy machine-guns as soon as they reached
the rocky bald slopes of Mt. Lungo. To support their attack, the entire
artillery of US 2nd Corps intervened, crushing the entire mountain under
the shells. First repulsed by heavy casualties, the Italians of 67th Regiment
attacked again while the 51st Battalion Bersaglieri tried to outflank the
mountain from the south. But it was no use; the Germans were strongly
entrenched and would not give up. By midday it was obvious that the
mountain would not be taken and the attack was halted. As retribution for
this failure, and to prevent any German counterattack, American howitzers continued a rain of fire on the defenders positions all afternoon.
ORANGE AT WALAWBUM
WALAWBUM, NORTH BURMA, March 6 1944:

For their first mission in the Burmese jungle, Merills Marauders had to outflank the 18th Japanese Division to prevent it from escaping the attack of
Stilwells two Chinese divisions in the Hukawng Valley. After a 10 day march
in the hills, the Marauders placed several roadblocks on the road to the south
and came immediately under attack by determined Japanese forces. In position on the heights since the 3rd of March, Orange Combat Team used its
heavy weapons to interdict the route through the village of Walawbum.
American observers hidden in the trees directed mortar fire which bracketed
any Japanese trucks attempting to move southwards. Several Japanese assaults
were repulsed with few losses, despite a continual bombardment by enemy
infantry guns. At the end of the day on the 6th of March, one last massive

positions. In the shelter of their foxholes, the Marauders held their fire until the first
Japanese soldiers were less than 100 meters away. With difficulty, the Japanese soldiers crossed the river under a deluge of fire. The American mortars and every automatic weapon which could be brought to bear easily broke the enemy charge. Two
heavy machineguns, which had an excellent field of fire overlooking the river, created carnage. A few Japanese groups reached the first foxholes but were quickly
wiped out. Another Japanese attack with the aim of dislodging the Marauders from

LAST OF THEIR STRENGTH

MYITKYINA, NORTH BURMA, May 21 1944:

Myitkyina, the main objective in the campaign for the Ledo road, was reached on the 17th
of May. After an exhausting two week march through the jungle, the Marauders and
attached Chinese units had captured the airstrip to the west of the town by surprise. Despite
this first success, subsequent attempts to take the town failed as Myitkyinas garrison was
much larger than foreseen. 3000 Japanese under the command of General Mizukami had
dug in in the town. The siege soon transformed into trench warfare in deplorable conditions:
monsoon rains, malaria, dysentery. The Marauders, sick and exhausted by a campaign of
almost six months, had received no reinforcements. Nevertheless, General Stilwell
demanded the impossible again from his only American unit. On the 21st of May, the remnants of the 3rd Battalion of Galahad attempted to tighten the encirclement by attacking the
village of Charpate to the north.

3. At the start of every American RPh, the 10-2 leader, if he is Good Order, must undergo
a TC. If he fails, he becomes broken (No other consequences of failing a MC apply casualty, replacement, etc.) [EXC: LLTC, DM]. The leader can immediately attempt to
rally. This TC can reoccur several times throughout the course of the scenario.
AFTERMATH: The objective of the 3rd Battalion was to reach a second airstrip,
north of the town. They first tried to seize Charpate, a small group of huts held by
the Japanese. As soon as combat began, it was obvious the Marauders were too
weak to accomplish their mission. Sick with fever and malnutrition, several men
simply fell asleep in the middle of the battle. Colonel McGee, leading his battalion into combat, was also near the end of his strength. He fainted 3 times before
being evacuated to a first aid post, where he continued to direct the attack, lying
on a stretcher.Taking advantage of their numerical superiority, the Marauders succeeded in dislodging the Japanese from the village but were counter-attacked that
same evening, and had to withdraw to their start line. A long agony of three
months was just beginning for the Marauders.
THERE ONCE WAS A LITTLE COLUMN

M ARVIE, BELGIUM, December 28, 1944:

In the Bastogne sector as elsewhere, the Ardennes offensive was now marking time.
Fierce American resistance and German tactical errors were allowing the 101st
Airborne to arrive just in time. The 327 th Glider Regiment had orders to take charge
of the southern section of the perimeter defense of the town. At dawn on the 20th of
December, the 2nd Battalion relieved the weakened and exhausted 35th Engineer
Battalion who were defending the village of Marvie. A platoon of light tanks from
Team OHara of the 10th Armored Division reinforced the glider troops. As well, two
Shermans were posted on the heights to the north.

KAKAZU RIDGE
OKINAWA, 9 April 1945:

Kakazu Ridge comprised the extreme west of General Ushijumas defense line in the
southern part of Okinawa. For Colonel May, the commander of the 383rd US Infantry
Regiment, it was an objective which seemed easy to seize, even though a small
ravine prevented any armored support. Counting on the effect of surprise to take a
position that to May seemed weakly defended, at dawn on the 9th he launched
Company A and C against the main hill, and Company I and L against the western
end of Kakazu. Almost without any fighting, A and C companies soon occupied their
objective, while the others were halfway to theirs. The Japanese presence was about
to be revealed as stronger than initially assessed.

4. At the start of turn 3 the Americans receive an OBAmodule directed by a Level 2 Offboard
Observer on the north board edge, whose placement is recorded prior to the Japanese setup.
This module can only place smoke (no WP).
AFTERMATH: At dawn, when the first American units had reached their
objectives, a Japanese observer suddenly noticed the presence of the
Americans. Almost immediately, Japanese artillery opened fire with a barrage, followed by a charge carried out by troops of the 13th Independent
Battalion under Colonel Munetatsu Hara. Battered by this shock,
Company A radioed an SOS asking for reinforcements, and received in
reply the order to hold the crest at all costs. Company L, still moving forward, managed to reach the summit of the western ridge despite the
Japanese fire, but it was repulsed shortly after by the defenders. It nevertheless remained positioned on the slopes. For the two companies, the situation rapidly became untenable, and a withdrawal was finally undertaken
under the cover of a smokescreen. Despite the advantage of initial surprise,
the reaction speed of the Japanese had repulsed the American assault.
YAE DAKE
Peninsula of MOTOBU, OKINAWA, April 16, 1945:

In the northern part of Okinawa, Mt. Yae Dake constituted the last bastion defended by the
4 independent mixed brigades of Colonel Udo. The terrain, a succession of peaks and covered ravines of coniferous trees, made the use of vehicles impossible. The Marines of the
6th division would have to fight without the support of the armored tanks and the equipment superiority of the Americans would be less evident. On the mountain, which dominated the area and its approaches, the Japanese soldiers admirably organized their defense
and prepared a fanatic resistance. After a progression skillfully slowed down by harassing
operations, the Marines finally arrived in attack position on April 14. On the 15th, the
mountain was encircled on three sides by the 4th and 29th regiments. The artillery was laid
out on the surrounding hills to support the final attack set for the next day.

artillery annihilated the bold japanese warriors. With a seriously shaken defense, the
Marines soon took possession of the mountain top. It would take two more days to mop up
the caves that riddled the hills of the last japanese sniper. Colonel Udo on the other hand
had already fled on the 15th with the strong intent to carry on this desperate fight elsewhere.

JANDRAIN, BELGIUM, May 13,1940:

While the Belgian forces were falling back in disorder, the French Cavalry Corps
again deployed over a 40 km front between Tirlemont in the north and Huy in the
south. Its mission: to perform a delaying action to give the infantry divisions the needed time to set up according to the Dyle plan. Assigned with covering the north sector,
the 3 rd DLM made contact as soon as the 12 th and its scouting elements were pressed
hard. The German push seemed to be applied towards the crossroads of Hannut. On

be encircled and Captain Laffargue prepared for a last stand at the village main
square. At the same time the H39s came into play. It was a slaughter. The strict
German discipline under fire allowed them to stop cold the counterattack. At 1415
the dragoons finally decided to withdraw under the cover of a handful of S-35s. But
it was too late: twenty heavy tanks had the road to Jauche under their fire and the
Somuas succumbed under a 4 to 1 superiority. With Jandrain lost a very important
breach opened in the French defense system while the battle was just beginning.
COUNTERSTROKE IN CONNAGE
CONNAGE, FRANCE, May 14, 1940:

On the previous day the Germans crossed the Meuse in several places, and three three Panzerdivisions (1st, 2 nd
and 10 th) went through in Sedan. The French defenders, demoralized by air bombings, were succumbing under
the assault. To face the attack General Lafontaine, commander of the Xth army corps holding the area, ordered
a counterstroke south of Sedan. Two tank battalions and two infantry regiments were to close and recapture the
breach opened by the enemy. The 213 th Infantry Regiment, with good leadership but poor equipment (officers
hadnt had time to supply grenades) set up on the left wing. Support was limited to one antitank platoon and to
the 7 th BCC equipped with FCM 36, but the French soldiers had never performed any combined attack training
with tanks. The attack began at 0620 May 14. In spite of some initial success (for example the destruction of
enemy machine guns and 37mm guns) the French were getting behind schedule and moved forward without coordination. After taking the weakly defended hamlet of Connage, the 3rd company of 7 th BCC and 213 th Infantry
Regiment marched over Chhery. In front of them the Germans had prepared an antitank defense with disparate
but quality elements such as the 14th Panzerjger anti-tank company of regiment Gross Deutschland. The last guns
were barely emplaced when the first French tanks appeared.

AFTERMATH: Heavy fire fell upon the FCM 36: PaK 38, 88 guns and even one 150 mm selfpropelled gun. Commander Couturier, in charge of the 2 nd Battalion of the 213th Regiment, anxiously observed this strange vehicle that remained out of infantry range. French tanks tried to open
a way out, without success. A first tank was immobilized, then a second one got stuck on the boggy
side of the Bar stream, and others were destroyed by the sIG and 88s. The attack was at a standstill when several Panzers suddenly appeared, among which were several PzIII. The PCMs are
completely unadapted to such a fight: they gave way in front of the enemy tanks maneuverability
and firepower. One French tank fired twelve explosive shells against a Panzer with no result whatsoever! Everything was settled for good when a Panzer IVcame into play and put an end to the
attempt. Only three tanks of the 7th BCC eventually managed to retreat and all French anti-tank
guns were destroyed. Without support the infantry retreated in turn, trying to contain the German
reaction. Indeed the enemy struck back and pushed away the 213th RI. The Connage counterstroke

FLAVION, BELGIUM, May 15, 1940:

In Dinant, 15th Army Corps of General Hoth crossed the Meuse in force and created openings on
the first day. The 9 th French Army saw its front disintegrate, and it absolutely had to react vigorously. General Bruneau, controlling the 1st Reserve Armored Division, received the command to
counterattack in the sector of 9th Army Corps. The axis of attack was Phillippeville-Dinant, to
reverse the direction of Rommels 7 th PanzerDivision In the scheduled attack, the French suffered from numerous disadvantages: lacking infantry and modern transmissions, no DCA, no
recon units and no coordination between infantry, armor and air support. The gasoline supply was
chaotic, as much from the Luftwaffe as the gargantuan consumption of the B1-bis. Planned for
the evening of the 14th, the attack was postponed to the following day and the French tanks were
placed at the entrances to the village of Flavion. The two half-brigades of the tank division (150
machines) unknowingly faced the 5th and 7 th Panzer Division that moved in the first hours of

tight formation as they approached Flavion. Immediately, they were attacked by H39 of the
26th BCC, soon reinforced by B1-bis of 28 th BCC. A tank battle began and turned initially
in favor of the French. The armor superiority and armament of the heavy tanks was obvious, and many of the Pz38 of PzRgt 25 burned on the Phillippeville road. German crews,
in spite of this first crushing fight, managed to pass the French tanks and engage them from
the sides and rear. The losses were heavy on both sides but the advance of the German
armored units was hardly delayed. The 1st DCR, badly supplied and not very mobile, was
broken up. Many Panzers were destroyed (30 or 40) but still more French tanks: 65 including approximately 40 B1-bis. 7th PanzerDivision completed the destruction of the 1st DCR
in the following days. If the French heavy tanks were highly regarded in a tactical confrontation, their defeat was due to their weak autonomy. In effect, whereas the battle was
prolonged in the afternoon, the B1-bis ran out of gas one after another and then were either
destroyed by the enemy or simply abandoned and sabotaged by their crews. A sad end for

Bavay. However part of the unit (158th Infantry Regiment and 12th Artillery Regiment)
found itself isolated north of Maubeuges. Their only hope was to reach Valenciennes but
two battalions of the 158th didnt manage to escape the net. Only the 3rd Battalion of the
158th and the third company of the 10th BCP could pull themselves out of the trap and
reach Thulin on May 23. Hoping to find food and ammunition Colonel Pucinelli took the
village and captured a few troops from the 269th recon Battalion waiting there. The
Germans could not allow French troops to their rear and reacted quickly. Colonel von

B IR-HAKEIM, LYBIA, June 6, 1942: The 1st Free French Brigade had been completely encircled by Axis
forces since June 2nd. In the north the 8th Army hadnt succeeded in reducing Rommel, trapped in the Cauldron. The latter repelled the disorganized English thrusts while maintaining his communications and supply lines. However he must
break the position held by Koenigs men to his rear so as to concentrate his strength against the bulk of the 8th Army.
The bombings grew in intensity on the French positions from June 5 on and the attackers received reinforcements. Since
Rommel was not able to break the position either with artillery, or with planes, or even with tanks, he will have to
send in his infantry, stated Lt. Colonel Broche, chief of the Pacifiens of 1st Battalion from the Pacific. Indeed the
Germans and Italians threw a new powerful attack at the indomitable defenders of Bir-Hakeim.

DEATH FROM THE SKY

Drvar, Yugoslavia,May 25, 1944:

Since the Italian surrender in fall 1944, Titos communist troops had extended their control area.
Deciding to definitively stop this resistance, the Germans prepared operation Rsselsprung; a
combined assault on the partisan leader HQ, that had been located some months earlier by radio
triangulation. When the infantry was ordered to converge toward Drvar, SS paratroopers where
given the mission to jump over the city and to destroy the enemy HQ. This audacious attack was
given to a formidable shock unit, the 500th SS Paratrooper Battalion, a partial disciplinary unit. At
dawn of the 25 th, the surprise was achieved: the German air force had eliminated all enemy antiaircraft defenses and the gliders approached without opposition. Lieutenant Sieg, commanding the
Panther Kampfgruppe assigned with capturing Tito, succeeded in landing adjacent to the HQ.
The SS paratroopers jumped out the gliders and started fighting.

AFTERMATH: The glider landing was a total success. In less than one hour of
raging fighting, the SS swiped away all resistance in town. But Tito and his
allied counselors barely escaped through a cave that emerged in another valley. Having seized their objective, the paratroopers had to hold until the arrival
of the infantry. From the heights, the partisan light artillery bombarded the
German positions and the partisan reinforcements started to flow toward the
town. In spite of their numerical superiority, the Yugoslavian troops did not
succeed in gaining a foothold in the town, and at dawn of the 26th , the German
motorized infantry joined up with the exhausted paratroopers. Even though
Tito had managed to escape, the operation was a success: the Yugoslavian losses where very heavy (2 divisions destroyed by the ground offensive), the HQ
and radios were destroyed, and a lot of irreplaceable material was lost by the
partisans. The communist activity was neutralized for some months in
Yugoslavia.

BURON, FRANCE , July 8, 1944:

Around Caen, the allied artillery and air force held the bulk of the German forces, but
taking Caen was asking for more important measures. For this purpose, Operation
Charnwood, with the participation of 3 infantry divisions, 2 armored brigades and the
specialized armored vehicles of the 79th Armored Division was launched. The
Canadians from the Highland Light Infantry were ordered to take Buron, which was
a keypoint to the German defenses, along with the Ardenne abbey. The SS from the
Hitlerjugend Division, entrenched behind minefields and anti-tank ditches, guarded
the village. At 0730, encouraged by Sergeant Kellys bagpipes, Colonel Griffithss
troops, supported by some Shermans, assaulted the village.

AFTERMATH:
With good support from the artillery of the 6th Field

the AT-Ditch, the German defense hardened. Inside Buron, intense fights
developed and the Germans defended each building with a desperate energy. Some SS committed suicide rather than surrender. A few tanks of the
12 SS-Pz-Rgt, coming from the Ardenne abbey, attempted a last counterattack. Despite all the German efforts, Buron was taken, at the cost of
heavy Canadians casualties. Their sacrifice (Company C from HLI lost the
half of its effectiveness, Company B 2/3 and Company C 1/3) was not in
vain, since on July 9 th the Allies victoriously entered Caen.

the bridge against repeated assault from two SS armored divisions: the 9th SS Panzer
Division Hohenstofen and the 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg. This bridge
was vital to the Germans, since it was the only possible crossing point to send troops

the 21st to see the British defense collapse under their attack. Supported by
numerous tanks from both Panzer Divisions, the German infantry nearly

OPERATION ON THE GUDBRANDSDAL

TRETTEN, NORWAY, April 23,1940:

Landing on April 19 in Aandalsnes, the 148 th British Territorial Brigade first had to go north to
take back Trondheim harbor. In fact, it quickly appeared that the most serious threat was coming
from the south, where the Germans, halted 10 days before in Oslo, were pushing back the
Norwegian 2 nd Division along the railway and the Gudbrandsdal river. The Brigade then turned
south, but did not manage to regroup early enough to stop the Germans from seizing
Lillehammer. The British where then heavily handicapped by the Cedarbank torpedoing, which
sank the entire Brigade transportation pool along with the majority of its ammunition and food
reserves. Transported with hastily requisitioned trucks and buses, the British soldiers also suffered
from a lack of winter clothes. Finally, a strong defensive position was installed at Tretten, where
the steep hills west of the Gudbrandsdal interdicted all moves. Despite the support of some surviving Norwegian units, things were not looking too good. Without artillery support and short of
ammunition, the British soldiers hadnt slept and had barely eaten during the last thirty-six hours.

AFTERMATH: Placed forward on the road, two Forester companies, supported by a Leicestershire company

British positions, without being damaged by numerous antitank rifle shots, and deeply advanced toward
Tretten. Unluckily for the British, they intercepted some officers of the Brigade on recon duty, along with the
Norwegian military adviser, and cut off all retreat. The village itself was soon under infantry gunfire and had
to be abandoned. Only a British rear guard held until the evening to allow all the units of the area to withdraw.
On their side, the Norwegian dragoons, positioned farther east to prevent an eventual turning attack, werent
attacked and could return to their trucks safely. Reduced to 9 officers and 300 troopers, the 148th Brigade was
no longer a sufficient combat force to prevent the Germans from resuming their attack toward Aandalsnes.
One week later, the British Corp. had to disengage and the Norwegian 2nd Division surrendered on May 2 nd.
SCOTTISH NIGHTMARE
SIDI OMAR, CYRENAICA, June 16, 1941:

Anticipating the new British offensive Battle-Axe, Rommel opted for a mobile defense. The main reason
was that, because of its supply shortage, he could not engage all his Panzers. To anchor this defense, the
Halfaya passage, a winding pass, was turned into a fortress. Several of the dreadful 88mm batteries were
entrenched there and carefully camouflaged, like around Fort Capuzzo. Behind this shield, Rommel
deployed his 15 th Panzer and 5th Light Divisions, both ready for a counterattack. A dawn on June 15th the
4th and 7 th Armoured Brigades started their progression. The 4th Brigade took Capuzzo at the end of the
day after a stiff fight and the 7 th Brigade crossed the wire and rushed toward Sidi Azeiz. On the morning
of the 16th, the operation resumed. The British were determined to seize Halfaya pass to avoid any blockage in their progression. The 7th Armoured Division had to continue their previous days task: fight the
Panzers. Some Matildas were even detached to reinforce the Cruisers, as well as the Support Group covering the western sector. On its side, the 5th Light Divisions (reinforced with 8th Panzer Regiment) objective was to outflank the British on the west side and to emerge behind them from Sidi Omar. At dawns
glow, the 2nd and 8th companies of the 8th Panzer Regiment met the first Cruisers. A whirling melee began,
vehicles appearing and disappearing in walls of dust, to strike at point blank range.

AFTERMATH: The Germans envisaged overflowing the British defenses

with a combination of moving and firing. They did not take into account

heavy toll on the Panzers. Even as the German tanks still advanced, the
British infantry held. Six hours later, the 8th Panzer Regiment was nearly
destroyed, only 30 tanks having crossed undamaged to the British positions. Following closely, the Panzergrenadiers joined the fight and attacked
the British infantry, well prepared to receive them. Yet, as early as noon,
the losses from the 7 th Armoured Brigade were alarming, and with the
fighting resuming around 1800, only nightfall managed to save the Brigade
from complete destruction. The Desert Fox had regained the initiative.
LAST STOP BEFORE VICTORY

YIGO, GUAM, 7 August 1944:

The conquest of Guam was approaching its end. Pursued by American forces, the Japanese were
withdrawing towards the northeast of the island. Yigo, the last strongpoint before beginning the
cleanup phase, remained to be taken. The start line of the 3rd Battalion of the 307th Regimental
Combat Team was fixed at 500 yards south-southeast of Yigo. The main axis of advance was the
Finegayan-Yigo road. On the left, the 306 th Regiment was ordered to follow a parallel route. The
infantry were supported by D Company (light tanks) followed by C Company (medium tanks) of
the 706 th Tank Battalion. The objective was the occupation of Yigo as well as the heights which
dominated it to the east and the north. The attack was to take place immediately after a bombardment of the village, but the narrow road in the assembly area created traffic jams and it was some
15 minutes after the end of the artillery preparation when the light tanks finally launched themselves into a less-congested area extending south of the village.

AFTERMATH: The light tanks rapidly came under an intense machinegun fire coming from
entrenchments and from pillboxes along the length of the right side of the road. The M5s rapidly crashed through these positions and continued their progress towards Yigo, leaving their
reduction to the medium tanks and infantry. Suddenly, several cannons opened fire on the left
of the formation, destroying two of the M5s, the remainder of whom called upon the medium
tanks to reinforce them. One of the M4s met the same fate in turn. However, despite the reduction by the flamethrower and grenade wielding infantry, one by one, of the Japanese positions
bypassed by the Japanese armor, the Japanese defenses arranged in the jungle to the left of the
road remained intact. The commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 306th, Colonel Kimbrell, hearing the noise of combat, personally led the 1 st Platoon of Company K to take the Japanese positions from the rear. Surprised by the arrival of the 1 st Platoon, the Japanese position, designed
to repel attacks coming from the direction of the road, rapidly crumbled. The last center of
resistance broken, the Americans quickly entered Yigo without opposition. The conquest of
Guam was at the point of drawing to a close.
A WAR OF CORPORALS
BREST, F RANCE, 16 September 1944:

After the piercing of the front at Avranches, the Americans launched their divisions in all
directions, notably in Brittany. Their lines of resupply were lengthening, and the capture of
the large French ports was deemed essential. Brest became the primary objective of US VII
Corps. The city garrison was formidable. Led by General Ramcke it consisted of 30,000
men stiffened by the parachutists of the 2nd Fallschirmjger Division, veterans of the
Eastern Front. The assault by three divisions of VII Corps was launched on 25 August, supported by fifteen artillery groups and seven heavy bomber formations. Despite their numerical advantage, the Americans were dealt with harshly. The 23rd Infantry Regiment finally
managed to reduce the exterior defenses by 8 September, but the paras were still holding
firm. It would be necessary to engage in difficult street-fighting.

taken in hand-to-hand or by flamethrowers. It was a war of corporals according to
General Robertson. It required eight further days of heavy and bloody advances and
reduction of a fortified strongpoint by the railway station to reach the Old City. On
18 September, Oberst Pietsonka, commanding the paras, surrendered his regiment
to the 2 nd Division, preceding the surrender of the Brest garrison itself which took
place on 21 September. The port, in ruins, would not be operational for several

MASSACRE IN PARADISE
LE PARADIS, South of MERVILLE, F RANCE, 27 May 1940:

The Allied Command was building Operation Dynamo to allow the evacuation of
encircled Franco-British troops at Dunkirk. To the extent possible, a defense perimeter was put in place. But the German pressure was strong. Among the assailants was
the Totenkopf Division of the Waffen-SS. It was made up of members of the Deaths
head groups, guard units from concentration camps. Its head, Theodor Eicke, was a
former commander of the Dachau camp. The formation of this division aroused the
hostility of the Wehrmacht, which refused to equip it. Himmler finally obtained
Czech cannons and machineguns for the division. Engaged at the moment of the
British counterattack at Arras, and then at Bthune, the Totenkopf was sorely tried due
to the inexperience of its troops and leaders. On 27 May, the division isolated the soldiers of the 2nd Royal Norfolk Regiment to the south of the hamlet named Le Paradis.

wall and shot down by the machineguns of 4th Company, commanded by Obersturmfuehrer Knoechlein. Any
survivors were finished off. Only two Englishmen, seriously wounded, miraculously escaped and were taken
in by villagers. They were then picked up and given medical aid by another German unit, before being sent
into captivity. At the end of the war, the testimony of one of the two, Albert Pooley, was enough to condemn
Knoechlein to death in 1945. During the trial, the soldiers who had participated in the massacre justified their
actions by arguing that the losses suffered by their unit were due to the use of dum-dum bullets by the British.
They rejected entirely any responsibility for the massacre on the part of Knoechlein. But with this massacre
at Le Paradis, the Totenkopf wrote a new chapter in the sinister reputation of the Waffen-SS.

LEBANESE DRAMA
North of MARYJAYOUN, L EBANON, 15 June 1941:

Foreseen to be a military parade, the invasion of Lebanon by Commonwealth and Free French troops
became a persistent battle. Not in the least neutral and passive, the Vichy forces prepared to counterattack after their initial surprise. On 10 June, the Australians advancing on Beirut seized Marjayoun. This
city became one of the Vichy objectives, as they were seeking to cut the communication lines of their
adversaries. Some R35s of 6th African Armored Regiment (RCA), the 2nd Battalion of 29th Algerian
Infantry Regiment (RTA), and some artillery formed up on the 14th, in preparation for a counter-attack
the next morning. The northern approach to the city, Balate Ridge, was held by the English of the First
Cavalry Division, who had just swapped their horses for trucks. The French attack began around 1400,
when the 7 th Company of 2 nd Battalion of 19th RTAadvanced on the ridge and the 5 th Company moved
on the left in the valley. The tanks of Captain Bellegarde came under withering artillery and antitank fire
and had to withdraw. But the Greys retreated in the face of the Algerian skirmishers despite receiving the
reinforcement of the Yeomanry and their machineguns. The portees abandoned the position when the
R35s returned in force. The 5th Company then took the foot of the ridge in order to participate directly
in its assault, supported by artillery.

Skirmishers. They retreated and regrouped along with a company of Australian
infantry under Lieutenant Mayberry, and took position north of the village of
Debbine around 1730. Despite the absence of cooperation between the 2nd
Battalion and the tanks, the ridge was taken by the French by 1900. The Greys and
the Yeomanry withdrew in disorder and abandoned its prisoners. The 7th Company
continued its advance and chased the Australians out of Debbine. But it was too late
to hope to take Marjayoun before nightfall. For their part, the Anglo-Australian
forces finally evacuated the city in favor of a position further south. The Vichy
forces occupied their objective the next morning, but despite this first success, the
French counter-offensive lacked drive and would not go much further.
RAKKASAN BUTA
PALEMBANG, SUMATRA, 14 February 1942:

Since the beginning of the year, the Japanese expansion knew no bounds, and the results
were beyond expectations. Under terrible pressure, Malaysia, Borneo, Sulawesi, Ambon
and almost all of the Philippines had fallen into their hands. It now remained to seize the
Dutch Indies, and Java in particular, extremely rich in raw materials. But is was initially
essential to be ensured of the bases for air support, and Sumatra offered for that matter
excellent possibilities. The mission of capturing one of the airfields at Palembang was
assigned to the Paratrooper Brigade of Colonel Kume. The task would not be easy however.A composite force of Dutch and artillery AAregiments of the RAF (with most of the men
converted to simple infantrymen) spread itself around the two airfields and a refinery. After
many delays, the Japanese were ready to parachute on February 14 th. At 1130 hours, the
Japanese planes flew over the drop zones. Suddenly, a multitude of small black flakes and
tracers framed the transport fleet.

The .50 cal HMG must be manned by a crew to avoid Non-Qualified Use penalties; a British crew

AFTERMATH: The several air raids which preceded the operation did not succeed in
destroying the Allied anti-aircraft defense. Quickly one, then two planes were shot
down in flames. Nevertheless the detachment assigned to capture P1 airfield landed
safely in two sections, one of 60 men in a portion of cleared jungle to the north of the
objective, and a second section of 80 men to the south. Whereas they got to their
objective, the second group came upon a group of Dutch reinforcements which joined
the airfield. A short fight with well aimed automatic weapons fire started, with the
rakkasan buta (paras) killing several Dutch soldiers and dispersing the others. Finally
with access to the airfield, the two groups launched a combined attack. By this time
the element of surprise was past. The Bofors guns broke the spirit of the paratroops,
and in spite of a violent fight, neither of the two sides gained the upper hand that afternoon. It was only with nightfall that the better trained Japanese managed to join up
and drive the Allies out of the airfield and into the jungle.
ICE DEVILS
Northwest of RZHEV, RUSSIA, 25 March 1942:

During their first winter in Russia, the Germans suffered along the whole front from
many soviet counterattacks. The Germans particularly feared the infiltration of ski
troops behind their lines. They were unable to block this form of attack because their
defenses were mainly concentrated around isolated villages. The 2nd Battalion of the
464th Infantry Regiment took position in a hamlet, trying desperately to protect themselves from the extreme winter (the outside temperature reached -45 Celsius). Patrols
were organized to control the area and numerous soviet infiltrations were intercepted.
At dawn on March 25, a hundred Soviets on skis suddenly appeared from the adjacent forest. Equipped only with submachineguns and demolition charges, they moved
so quickly that they reached the first buildings before the defenders could react.

explosives, several Soviet soldiers were blown to pieces as their loads
exploded. Very aggressively, the Russians disrupted the first defense line.
In the middle of the morning, G Company counterattacked and reversed the
situation after some violent hand-to-hand combat. All of the Russian soldiers were in fact NCO volunteers, promised promotions if they took the
village. Of the 100 attackers, only 9 surrendered. All of the others were
killed.
ROSES FOR VANDERVOORT

L ES ROSIERS, FRANCE, 15 June 1944:

The encirclement of the German troops of the Cotentin had just begun the previous
day. The 507 th Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 325th Glider Regiment were
engaged along the D15 Road who link Pont lAbbe to St Sauveur le Vicomte. After
a good start, a vigorous German counterattack stopped paratroopers cold. On the 15th,
it was the turn of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment to attack after crossing the
507th positions. The 1st and 2 nd Battalion rushed forward. The 1st Battalion attacked
north of the D15, and the 2 nd along the road itself. The 3rd Battalion was kept in
reserve. The Germans stiffly resisted at first, but once this resistance was broken, the
505th advanced quickly. After 700m of progression, they met a fortified strongpoint
in the Les Rosiers hamlet.

the 1 st Battalion of the 1058 Infantry Regiment, equipped with MGs and mortars. The
accurate fire from the paratroopers forced the Germans to go for cover. Company E, supported by the 81mm MTR from the HQ Company succeeded in advancing and outflanked
the German position. Nevertheless, the position seemed too tough to break without more
support. Colonel Vandervoort then went to the 1st Battalion HQ and loaned 2 Shermans
to Colonel Alexander. With a platoon of company D and the 2 Tanks, he outflanked and
overran the German position. Most of the defenders where killed or captured and the others retreated. The progression resumed at such a speed that all German opposition seemed
to vanish in front of the airborne troops. The road to St Sauveur le Vicomte was open.
TRAPPED
LA PINETIRE, 4 Km east of RONCEY, FRANCE, 29 July 1944:

Operation Cobra, started 5 days earlier, was very successful. The remnants of two Infantry
Divisions (the 91st and the 243rd), paratrooper elements of Corps Meindl, and particularly the
major part of 2 nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich and of the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division
Gotz von Berlichingen where trapped in the so called Roncey pocket. Their only hope was to
break the American lines toward the south and the southwest in order to join the German front
line. Several attempts failed in the night from the 28th to the 29th. On the morning of the 29th at
0900, a particularly strong attack started in La Pinetiere, a hamlet around a crossroads. Several
hundred paratroopers and SS, supported by 15 Panzers, pushed back a company of the 4th Infantry
Division, placed there in protection, 1 km in front of the 78th Armored Artillery Battalion of the
2nd Armored Division. Unable to retreat anymore, the GIs, now supported by 2 M7 batteries,

AFTERMATH: The fight was incredibly violent. The M16s fired on the
German infantry, decimating it. All the M7 105mm guns fired direct hits
and the losses quickly increased in the German troops. During 30 minutes,
the fight outcome stayed uncertain, but the American resources were not
unlimited and the losses also increased among them. The defense begun to
bend under the German repeated assaults, that desperately wanted to break
the encirclement. When the conclusion seemed near, elements of the 41st

defense from collapsing. The bulk of the Germans was repelled in the pocket, leaving on the field 126 KIAand 9 tank wrecks. Only a few groups succeeded in escaping. For their part, the Americans did not communicate their
losses on this action. But they had to have been at least as high as the
Germans.
BIG CATS AT BAY

G OLZOW, GERMANY, 22 March 1945:

The Vistula battle lost, the remnants of the German army reorganized behind the Oder-Neisse river, in the vain
hope to stop the Red Army. The situation was even worse since the 5 th Shock Army already secured a bridgehead
on the western side of the Oder. The battle was raging inside Kuestrin. The 56 th Panzer Corps was assigned to stop
the Russians without delay. A Kampfgruppe was built and deployed on both sides of the highway that linked
Kuestrin to Berlin. No less than 28 Tiger II and 28 Panthers where assigned to the Kampfgruppe. The morning of
the March 22nd, at 0600, the Russian steamroller started again. The front blazed up and the first German lines where
flattened under a shower of shells and rockets during more than 90 minutes. Nevertheless, when then Russians met
the defense, the Grenadiers offered a stiff resistance. Only a few tanks where able to make it through. Two armored
arrows where repulsed by the Panthers and Tiger II. The Russians suffered heavy losses and did not wait long
before withdrawing. At the same time, north of this battle, a third Russian group headed toward Golzow. The village hosted the Battalion HQ and was only very lightly defended
by five Panthers from the recon group supported by a thin
Grenadier company. Still, the German commandant decided to
take up the challenge...

AFTERMATH: Under the Russian artillery fire, the Panzers had problems
regrouping in Golzow. The Russians added to the confusion on the
German side by firing a thick smoke screen at the edge of the village. The
defenders had barely pulled themselves together when the first T-34
emerged from the smoke. But blinded and without their supporting
infantry, the first beasts roaming the streets were easy prey. Supporting
each other, Grenadiers and Panzers isolated and destroyed the tanks of
the first wave one by one. But after the T-34 came the Stalins and assault
guns loaded with infantry riders. The fights where extremely violent and
the losses dreadful. When all seemed lost, some Tiger II called on for
help joined the fray. Under the shock, the Russians lost their nerve and
finally withdrew. The breakthrough attempt ended in a bitter failure. That
would nevertheless be only a respite before the unavoidable conclusion.
TASK FORCE SMITH

Near OSAN, SOUTH KOREA, 5 July 1950:

On 25 June 1950, Communist North Korea invaded its southern neighbor. Nothing seemed to stop the
North Korean popular army, equipped by USSR and well led by numerous veterans of the WWII fights
against the Japanese. On the 30 th, The Americans decided to send some troops and McArthur packed the
Japan-based 30 th Infantry Division to South Korea. A preliminary detachment was assigned to slow the
North Korean advance and to show US determination. Led by Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, this task force
was composed of two depleted companies supported with some heavy mortars and recoilless guns. Some
of the troops and officers had participated in WWII combat. The Task force arrived in Pusan on July 1st.
The refugee columns and the monsoons heavy rains hampered his progression to the front line. One
artillery battery joined them on the 4th. On the morning of the 6 th, an armored column coming from the
north appeared... It was made up of 33 T34s that crossed the Americans positions without damage despite
the defenders heavy fire. American losses were light and the situation became quiet again around 0900.
One hour later, a new column appeared in the rain; 3 T34s, then trucks and infantrymen in a several kilometer wide column. This was the first fight of the cold war.

the Americans where also engaged on their right wing. After
two hours of fighting, without contact with the artillery and
close to being encircled, Smith ordered a withdrawal. The
heavy weapons Guns and wounded had to be abandoned.
Mass confusion developed and many Americans where
killed or captured, but the North Koreans were content with
seizing the position and did not pursue the GIs. In a half-day
of fighting, Task Force Smith lost a third of its initial effectiveness (540 men at start). The next day, the UN installed
Douglas McArthur as the UN troop commander in Korea.
STRENGTH THROUGH UNITY

O OSTROZEBEKE, BELGIUM, 26 May 1940:

At the end of May 1940, the Belgian army was in dire straits and backed into the western part of the country. However, the German advance was anything but a cakewalk.
The Lys river line was stubbornly defended by Belgian troops whose zeal was reminiscent of their fathers25 years earlier on the Yser. Near Oostrozebeke, the Germans
managed to penetrate the 8th divisions front. They used civilians as human shields and
infiltrated through grain which was already tall enough to provide cover. Infantrymen
of the 21st Line Regiment fell back and fought side by side with the gunners of the 5 th
Artillery who had to blow up their own guns. Major Leclerq, commanding officer of
the 1st Battalion of the 21st, decided to counter-attack with a combined force of infantrymen, gunners and engineers. At 1830, the bugles signaled the charge.

fewer than 46 of the advancing men were killed, including Renkin. By nightfall, the overall situation forced the Belgians to relinquish the ground they had

THE ARMY AT THE END OF THE WORLD

NA CHAM Border Post, INDOCHINA, 25 September 1940:

In order to cut the Chinese supplies, the Japanese Canton army wanted to control French
Indochina, which had been left to fend for itself ever since the defeat of June 1940 and the
armistice in France. After weeks of diplomatic pressure and border incidents, an agreement was
signed, allowing Japanese troops to enter the country while maintaining French sovereignty and a
French military presence. But on the very day the agreement was signed, Japanese troops attacked
border posts from the north and attempted to disarm the French garrisons. On September 23, at Na
Cham, a Japanese column tried to force its way onto Colonial Highway 4. With no precise orders
from above, the local commander decided not to submit, and refused the Japanese permission to
go through. The next day, a stronger Japanese attack was beaten back with heavy losses to the
attackers. Overnight, a section, under Lt. Sguin, came out of the fort, crossed the highway and
established itself on the Ban-Tich hilltop, in case the Japanese renewed their attack on the following day.

preparing to launch an attack. Opening up with great accuracy, the MG of this outpost
section neutralized the guns. At that point, the Japanese commander then turned his
men around and they started assaulting the hilltop. But across the road, the Colonials
in the fort reacted to this move and their mortars caught the moving Japanese from the
rear. The Japanese soon had had enough and retreated to the north. Taking the advantage of the break, Sguins section returned to the fort. Despite this success, the situation remained difficult because ammunition was short. Late in the afternoon, the
commander decided to fall back, leaving a few volunteers to watch over the wounded. The Japanese would massacre them all when they finally took the fort.
PYRRHIC VICTORY
MAVROPIYE, GREECE, 13 April 1941:

On April 8, just two days after the start of the German offensive, it became obvious to General Wilson, commanding officer of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, that the Greeks would not be able to resist enemy pressure
much longer. Consequently, he decided to re-deploy his forces to the south, along a shorter defensive line,
anchored on wooded mountains and easier to defend. But he needed time to do so. Several units were detached
from the IEF and placed under General Mackay . They started blowing up a series of bridges, managing to greatly slow down the Panzer Divisions. Even this was not enough though, and Mackay fought a first (and successful)
blocking action at Vevi. Encouraged by the result, he decided to try again. 35 km to the south, at Ptolemais, a natural anti-tank ditch cut across the South road. This looked like the perfect spot from where to try stopping the
onrushing Panzers. The clash was not long in coming. On the morning of the 13 th, the 4 th Hussars forward observation posts beyond the ditch came under heavy attack. The Germans quickly realized that it would be impossible to force their way through. A glance at the map indicated a possible solution: a trail bypassed the obstacle, but
the ground was swampy and seemed impassable for the Panzers. Nonetheless, it was the only way out and had be
attempted. A few hours later the first German tanks showed up on the British flank...

AFTERMATH: The fighting started right away. Two Hussars squadrons threw themselves at the
Germans without further ado: the action turned into a slaughter. Despite their bravery, Sir
Winstons Hussars were felled one after the other. Nevertheless, the German victory did not last
very long. Rushing straight for the 1st Armoured Divisions HQ, the Panzers stumbled upon the
2-pdrs of the 102 nd Northumberland Hussars. Eight tanks were quickly knocked out and the
German momentum was broken. And that was not the end of it. Two Cruisers squadrons, coming
to help, set another five on fire within a few minutes. However, Brigadier General Charrington,
the Brigades commanding officer judged that it would be safer to withdraw without delay. Night
was falling and it would be easier to disengage under the cover of darkness. Immediately, gunners
and infantrymen started falling back and once again, Mackay Force escaped. But losses had been
heavy. Too heavy in fact, for what proved to be the 1st Armoured Brigades first, and last, action.
IN THE NAME OF ROME

JASNAYA POLYANA, USSR,12 August 1941:

Mussolini, furious at not having been told of Barbarossas launch ahead of time, wanted his
share of glory in the anti-bolshevik crusade. He thus sent the 3-division CSIR (Corpo
Spedizione Italiano in Russia) Italian Expeditionary Corps in Russia to join the fray. The
Italians were sent to Ukraine where they acted as a buffer between the Rumanians and the
Hungarians. Early in August, the CSIR was committed to the front. Pasubio Division was
ordered to advance toward the Boug river in order to cut off retreating Soviet forces. A vanguard was put together using the Roma Regiment as its core, and various supporting units.
On the 11th, contact was made with the enemy. The next afternoon, the point battalion met
heavy resistance near the village of Jasnaya Polyana. Violent fighting ensued and the Italian
Commandant was put out of action. The main elements of the column were still far away
and Colonel Chiaramonti, Romas CO, intervened to take control of the situation.

fell by 1930. In his report, Colonel Chiaramonti praised the behavior of his
regiment as heroic and worthy of its motto Nel nome di Roma (In the name of
Rome). The truth is that the Russian rearguard had successfully delayed Pasubios
advance.
DANGEROUS CROSSROADS
South of MATEUR,TUNISIA, 25 November 1942:

Operation Torch had brought war to the Maghreb. Anglo-American mechanized columns were
racing for Tunis, and had crossed the Algeria-Tunisia border with the goal of capturing the
Tunisian capital before the Axis was reinforced. Blade Force, with the 17th/21st Lancers as its
core, was one of the many groups advancing eastward despite the bad weather and enemy
roadblocks. Germans and Italians were desperately trying to gain time to concentrate their
forces for a counter-attack. A first roadblock, manned by troops of the Italian 92nd Infantry
Regiment was swept aside during the night of November 24. Major Witzig, CO in the Mateur
area, sent the rest of 9 th Company to block a crossroads on the roads to Mateur and Tebourba.
The next morning, British armoured cars found the enemy and by 1000, C Squadron, 17th /21st
Lancers attacked, supported by the only infantry company in Blade Force.

stopped the infantry dead in its tracks and a Carrier was blown up by a mine.
Despite armor support, the attack bogged down, and the reserve infantry section
and the close support Crusaders had to enter the fray to dislodge the German
Pioneers and the Italian infantrymen. The last defenders surrendered at around
1300. Their resistance had bought some time for the Axis.
THE FOX OFFSPRING

JEBEL EL GUESSA, TUNISIA, 6 December 1942:

Violent German counter-attacks early in December did not prevent the Allied High
Command from preparing a renewed assault on Tunis. But the enemy had the initiative and was trying to break through in the direction of Medjez-el-Bab. The planned
advance was to proceed on the south bank of the Medjerda river. Only a few hills
stood out on this tank-friendly country. The high point was Jebel El Guessa. This sector was defended by elements of Combat Command B of the 1st Armored Division.
The defenders were infantrymen and gunners, with tanks held in reserve. On
December 5, the Americans observed German preparations. At 0800 the next day, the
attack started, after the defenders had been hit hard by two waves of Stukas.

tried blocking the Americansretreat to the Bordj Toun bridge. The American infantry
was scattered by the attack but Battery Cs intervention stopped the panzers. However,
enemy fire, especially MG fire, decimated the T19 and M2 GMC crews. Having
knocked out 8 tanks, the survivors surrendered. The M7s of Battery B then moved forward but they couldnt contain the German attack. 13th Armored Regiments reinforce ments, although they outnumbered the enemy, were late in arriving and then went on
the attack with no intelligence about the enemy. A light tank battalion reinforced with
M3 medium tanks attacked from the east and the west, but the east detachment was
delayed. The other detachment came under concentrated anti-tank fire and retreated
after losing 5 M3A1. The American defenders fell back toward Jebel bou Aoukaz, 6
kilometers to the rear. The Americanspoor coordination had compounded the limitations of their tactics and of their equipment. The Germans had proven themselves worthy spiritual heirs of Rommel.
th
LAST FIGHT
Near BOU SAADIA, TUNISIA, 31 January 1943:

Since January 18th, French troops in Tunisia had been being roughed up by a violent enemy
offensive which aimed at gaining control of the western ridge, thus impairing Allied attacks
and giving some breathing room to the Axis. Poorly equipped, the French forces, including
the 7 th Moroccan Skirmisher Regiment, had to give up ground. After the 25th, the situation
improved, due in part to the terrain which was more hilly and in part to the intervention of
Anglo-American reinforcements. Intense fighting took place on the road to Ousseltia. The
Germans were worried and they launched yet another attack on the 31st. 11th Company, 7th
RTM, installed on Wadi Drijda was forced to withdraw by the Gebirgsjgers fighting along
side the panzers. The enemy was infiltrating towards the road the to Bou Saadia crossroads.
The Commandant of the 3 rd Battalion of the 7 th RTM ordered his 9th Coy to counterattack
with British armored cars in support.

29 LETS GO
GRANDCAMP, FRANCE, 8 June 1944:

Two days after D-Day, the 352nd Infantry Division, now decimated, was
forced to withdraw in the face of an American push from Omaha Beach.
The small port at Grandcamp, because of its importance for Allied supplies,
was nevertheless defended against elements of the Rangers and of the 29th
Division that came out of Pointe du Hoc. The swampy terrain was an asset
to the Germans, and so was a small stream protecting the eastern approaches to the village. Around midday, a group of Rangers were fought off. A

Sherman tanks. The tanks crossed the untouched bridge, but one of them
blew up on a mine. The GIs were taken to task by German MGs and mortars and returned the fire. The Americans seemed to be marking time at the
edge of the village. At this point, Sgt. Peregory infiltrated the enemy positions and single-handedly neutralized a MG nest with Garand fire and
grenades. He pushed his prisoners in front of him, knocked out another MG
nest and captured some more Germans. This exceptional action allowed the
main force of the battalion to mop up Grandcamp. Peregory would be the
only man of the 116th and one of only two of the 29th Division ever to be
awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He never learned about it: he
was killed in action 6 days later.
THE RAILWAY BATTLE

Near E RNAGE, B ELGIUM, 15 May, 1940:

After the German attack on May 19, the 1 st French Army entered Belgium as planned in the Dyle plan.
As point element, General Priouxs cavalry corps was tasked to delay the Germans enough for the infantry
divisions to set up on defensive positions on a line going from Wavre to Namur. The Gembloux-Ernage
sector was entrusted to General Melliers 1st Moroccan Division. This elite unit, made up of Moroccans
volunteers, was a well-commanded and highly motivated troop, but suffered from the typical deficiency
from the French army, and especially from a lack of anti-tank weapons. Its elements, on foot or truck
transported, reached their planned positions that leaned on the Brussels-Namur railway. Unfortunately, the
panzers of Hoepners 15th Corps rushed Priouxs divisions at Hannut, and the 1st Moroccan Division was
engaged in the fights on May 14, and not on the 18th as scheduled. The French disposal was near complete
when the night came. The 2nd RTM, entrenched between Ernage and Gembloux held a reasonable defense
line, well supported with 25 ATGuns detached to their profit by the Divisional HQ. A few mines and wires
where hastily placed. On the 15th, at 0755, The German artillery and Stukas prepared without much success the attack of the tanks and riflemens of the 4th Panzer Division.

around 0930, the Panzers having joined the infantry. The German losses where heavy but several French positions where crushed. At 1000,
the 2 nd Battalion from the 12th Assault Regiment crossed the Railway,
but the attack stalled under the high volume of defensive fire. At 1100,
a 47mm shell damaged the Command Tank from the 5th Panzer
Brigade, and the Commandant himself was wounded. The armor withdrawn one half-hour later, followed by the infantry.A good half of the
engines of the 35th Panzer Regiment was disabled. The other German
attacks also failed and the French held their positions. But this brilliant
tactical success was rendered useless by the German break through the
Ardennes that cut the rear of the 1st Army in Belgium.
COUNTRY PARTY
SEPT-VENTS, FRANCE, 30 July 1944:

In order to hold the German armored forces in the British Normandy sector and to
avoid them counter-attacking the Cobra offensive, Montgomery decided to launch
the Bluecoat operation. This operation goal was to seize the Caumont area, obliging the Panzers to go for a large bend if tempted to go west and losing critical time in
the process. The main objective was Hill 309, pivot of the German defense. The 326th
Infantry Division, an exhausted unit, held the sector. The 15 th Scottish Division was
tasked with the attack, supported by Churchills from the 6th Guard Tank Brigade. Both
units were heavily supported by powerful artillery and numerous special engines
(Funnies). The attack front was narrow, but countless hedges cutting the terrain
favored the defense. On the morning of July 30th , the largest attack ever undertaken
by infantry tanks started.

GHOSTS IN THE JUNGLE

BARRIGADA, GUAM, 2 AUGUST 1944:

After the successful landings led by the Marines of the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade
and the 3rd Marine Division, the American foothold on Guam was no longer threatened. The 77th Infantry Division was entrusted with the task of mopping up the island
in the face of a greatly weakened enemy, one still capable of determined resistance.
The Barrigada district, in the north-eastern part of the island, was the scene of heavy
fighting; the Japanese were desperately resisting access to the village and were clinging to the edge of the jungle that lay to the east. The first attack on the Green House
by B Company, 307th Regimental Combat Team, had failed by the afternoon of the 2nd,
with the result that the left flank of the battalion was now exposed. In order to reestablish contact with B Company, now cut-off to the north-west, Company G was
dispatched to take and hold the area with the help of some light tanks.

AFTERMATH: Contradictory orders caused confusion from the start of the assault. The
2nd and 3rd Platoons advanced in leap-frog fashion, supported by the fire of 4 M5A1s.
But the tanks and infantry were uncoordinated and the American tankers showed
even less bravery when the enemy remained totally unseen, except for the fire of light
weapons form the jungle. The 1st Platoon arrived at the scene of the battle and the
Green House was taken. At this point the M5A1s withdrew, allowing the Japanese
to begin anew their deadly fire. Casualties mounted and the attackers were pinned
down, unable to ascertain the enemy positions. Later reinforcement by Company H
and several more tanks finally allowed the Americans to withdraw. The isolated 1st
platoon had lost 26 GIs, most of whom had been killed by an enemy they never saw.
PANZERS MARSCH!
East of KIELCE, POLAND, 16 August 1944:

Profiting from the collapse of Army Group Center, armored spearheads from the 3rd
Guards Army penetrated deep into German lines and captured a town commanding
two bridges which were the key to the German lines of communication. A kampfgruppe from the 3rd Panzer Division launched a counterattack to retake the village.
The plan formulated by Zobel, the Kampfgruppe commander, involved one company
of tanks making a feint to the west while the main attack, detailed to a second tank
company and mounted infantry, was to come from the south.

encountering major opposition. Several Russian units, including tanks, fled to
the north-east. The village was secured with little hindrance from the Russians
who for the most part, realizing their numerical inferiority, abandoned their
positions. The second bridge to the north-east of the village was rapidly controlled by the Germans.
A TRAIN FOR ARNHEM

NIJMEGEN, HOLLAND, 19 September 1944:

Two days after the launch of Operation Market-Garden, the 82nd Airborne Division was still trying to gain its objectives. The Germans occupied the heights south of Nijmegen as well as the
northern part of the city, in particular the two bridges which spanned the River Waal. The
Germans, in the form of Kampfgruppen hurriedly assembled from the remnants of resting units,
had proved too strong for the Paratroops on their own. The arrival of the forward detachments of
Guards Armoured Division was timely, and a new assault on the Nijmegen bridges was begun.
While a strong force attempted to seize the main road bridge, a more modest force consisting of
a U.S. Paratroop company, a platoon of British infantry and a troop of tanks were to take the railway bridge. The bridge was defended by elements of KampfGruppe Henke, a temporary battalion formed from regular infantry, Luftwaffe ground personnel and even Nijmegen rail installation
guards, supported by an anti-aircraft gun.

AFTERMATH: Although the railroad was seized without much difficulty to

within 200 meters of the railroad bridge, the enemy had grown significantly
in strength by the time the combined force encountered a strongpoint defended by machine guns and an 88mm gun. After a hurried consultation with his
superiors, the British commander came up with a plan to breakthrough the
defenses and capture the bridge. The attack began just as the evening twilight
started. The first three tanks were quickly put out of action by the Germans.
Now the paratroops were subjected to sustained machine gun fire. Faced
with a rising casualty count, the advance was stopped and the attacking units
withdrew 100 meters to take up positions for the night. In a bitter blow, Lt.
Waverley W. Wray of Company D, a veteran of the Normandy campaign,
was killed by a sniper just as he withdrew with his men.
HOLD YOUR GROUND!

South of WICKERSCHWIHR, FRANCE, 27 January 1945:

The French First Army had been stymied by the ferocious resistance of the German 19th Army in
front of Colmar since the beginning of December. Toward the end of January 1945, the French
launched a general offensive to eliminate the Colmar Pocket. Second Corps was ordered to
liberate the city with the help of U.S. troops of 21st Corps. The first objective: the Colmar Canal
to the east. The Americans quickly lost momentum. General Monsabert decided to throw in 4th
Combat Command in an extra effort to first cross the Canal and then push on to the south.
Detachment A were to the fore, their objective; the bridge at Wickerschwihr. Platoon Bethouard,
accompanied by a detachment of legionnaires, were the first to arrive at the Canal. A patrol found
that the bridge had been partly demolished. It was impassable to vehicular traffic, but could still be
crossed on foot. The French took up position, awaiting the
arrival of the rest of the detachment. Very soon, a German
company approached from the direction of Bischwihr.

6. The inherent squad in the M3(MMG) is a 458. The inherent 458 and the MMGs of the

AFTERMATH: The Germans, clothed in their white camouflage,

advanced on the canal with weapons slung. The French opened fire
at 400 meters, throwing the enemy ranks into utter confusion and
forcing them to take cover. Then mortar barrage from Bischwihr
landed on the Cuirassiers and Legionnaires. The Germans attempted
to attack again, this time infiltrating onto the northern bank.
However, it was all in vain: 40 of them were soon captured in the
woods just north of the canal. Even the intervention by a self-propelled gun and a light anti-tank gun was not enough to reverse the
course of the battle. The French maintained their control of the position and welcomed the arrival of the first American troops around
1600 hours. The defenders had successfully held their ground with
the only casualty being a slightly damaged tank.
THE LAST BRIDGE

BERLIN, MOLTKE BRIDGE, 28 to 29 April 1945:

After a hard fought advance through Moabit Quarter, Soviet forces of 79 Corps had
reached the northern end of the Moltke bridge, spanning the River Spree. This was the
only practical crossing within reach of the Administrative Quarter, an area the
Germans had turned into a veritable fortress. The only other intact bridge was under
constant fire from the Reichstag itself, where the Germans had massed automatics
weapons, and opened onto open ground which made a bridgehead difficult to establish. The Moltke bridge was also barricaded at both ends, and itself was swept by the
fire of defenders entrenched in the Department of Domestic Affairs and the
Diplomatic District. A daylight crossing was deemed impossible, so the Soviets decided on a night assault to seize a foothold in the citadel.

AFTERMATH: The assault was undertaken by a battalion from each of

the leading divisions. The Bridge defenders were overwhelmed around
midnight but the crossing had truly been a close affair. The Germans had
positioned several machine-guns to enfilade the southern bank of the
Spree and held the bridge under a vicious crossfire. In addition, the
Germans mounted a counterattack on both sides of the Spree which put
the Soviet assault in danger. The Germans then detonated explosive
charges, but the bridge was stronger than foreseen and withstood the
explosion, still allowing vehicles to cross. By 0200 the Soviets had
finally driven off the counter-attack and had established a foothold in the
Diplomatic District. Reinforcements were then directed in overwhelming strength to the south of the canal to shore up the bridgehead and by
morning, the Soviets were firmly ensconced in the Diplomatic District.
The Battle for the Reichstag was about to begin.
THE LAST ATTACK

BERLIN, ALSENSTRASSE, 30 April 1945:

The battle for the Reichstag was no longer in doubt and the only remaining question
was the date the former parliament would fall. The situation was desperate but the
defenders still held. A new Soviet attack was launched at 1130 under the shelling of
German guns firing from the Kroll Opera and soon the infantry reached the anti-tank
ditch and the edge of the Alsenstrasse. In the face of this danger, the Germans
quickly gathered a counterattack force: a battalion of marine cadets.

were thrown back to their starting line with heavy losses. The last attack to delay the end of the Reich, from
now on reduced to a few square-kilometers, failed.
DIG THEM OUT!

NOMONHAN area, 7 August 1939 :

Hill 742, keypoint of the Japanese defense on the east side of the front, was the goal of many
Soviet recon missions. The positions where held by the 5th and 6th companies of the 2nd Battalion
of the 28th Japanese Infantry Regiment. These last strengthened their positions in spite of sporadic
bombardments. Japanese intelligence soon revealed that the Russians were preparing an attack
and the 2nd Battalion was on the lookout. On the 6th of August, the situation was quiet, but that was
just the calm before the storm. On the 7th, at dawn, a heavy bombardment poured down on the
Japanese positions and numerous attacks endangered the left flank of the 2nd Battalion. At 1830,
an intense artillery barrage fell on the Japanese defenders. Some were buried alive in their foxholes. 45mm Guns, 800m from the positions, fired on the Japanese soldiers that tried to escape
the barrage while withdrawing to rear positions. At 2000, the Russian artillery lengthened their
fire to block eventual reinforcements. The Russian infantry, supported by armor, began to slowly
progress toward the hill.

AFTERMATH: The tanks opened fire to cover the infantry progression. The first Soviet
elements reached the foothill and the first Japanese defense line. This first attack was
repelled with the help of the grenade launchers while most of the infantry was still occupied fixing the machineguns damaged by the bombardment. The bulk of the Russian
infantry, around 3 companies, started to climb the hill, reached positions 40m from the
crest line and attacked with hand grenades. The Japanese withdrew, while killing with
grenade launchers any Russian Infantry moving in open ground. Facing the 5th
Company, the Soviets, with no special desire for close combat, did not push forward and
the fight degenerated into a grenade-launching contest. The Japanese 6th Company was
less lucky since the Russians charged their trenches and a confused melee followed. The
Japanese still did not give up and resisted even if outnumbered. The Russian finally
withdrew in good order, but lost 60 KIA in front of the 6th Company positions.
MOUNT AKAYAMA
NOMONHAN area, the night of 18 to 19 August 1939:

After the failure of the Japanese offensive at the end of July, both the Russians and
Japanese stood firm in their positions. The Japanese were entrenched on Hill 754,
while the Russian positions spread out on several heights to the south, where they
installed several MG nests and some anti-tank Guns. Based on some partial recons,
Captain Tsuji, commander of the 6th company, asked his chief, Major Kajikawa, for
authorization to launch a night attack on the Soviet positions. The first skirmish
took the Russians by surprise and the attack progressed quickly. But soon it
appeared that the Soviet positions were modified and that the more the attack progressed, the more the defenses got stronger. The first two heights were captured and
the Soviet troops regrouped on Mount Akayama.

BATTAM BANG BANG

Road to KHUM KANDAL, BATTAMBANG, CAMBODIA, 16 January 1941:

At the end of 1940, the Thai army, emboldened by the French Indochina occupation
by the Japanese, undertook to conquer the territories that were given to Cambodia at
the end of the 19th century. There followed a long period of border incidents during
which both sides mobilized their troops. Beginning in 1941, the Thai army crossed the

quick recon that largely underestimated the Thai forces. No more recons were attempted, the French Command feeling them unnecessary. For that reason, the FrenchCambodian forces left their positions without taking any security precautions and without coordination with the HQ. The Thai opposition was well equipped with semi-automatic and automatic weapons (The Thai army was modernized by the Americans in
1939). Confronted with this problem and with many snipers camouflaged in the trees,
the Cambodian troops of the mixed Battalion ran away. The artillery was inefficient in
this enclosed terrain and only the arrival of the Colonial troops allowed stabilization of
the front. Luckily for the French Command, the Thai High Command didnt realize the
situation and didnt exploit its advantage. Finally, at the end of the month, the fights
stopped because of the cease-fire imposed by the Japanese.
BREAKWATER
VELIZH, 17 February 1942:

As part of the northern disposal of the Soviet winter offensive, the 4th Shock Army, commanded by General
Eremenko, rushed on January 9 from the heights of Valdai toward the south and quickly advanced. Its objective
was to seize Vitebsk, in order to cut off any retreat for the German Army Group Center. After having destroyed
the 189th Silesian Infantry Regiment, the 4th Shock Army on January 21 attacked the important German supply center of Toropets. Temporarily freed in this manner from its supply constraints, The 4th Shock Army resumed its
advance. Confronted with a 125 km wide breach between Velikie Louki and Rjev, the German Command formed
the 59th Army Corp in Vitebsk. Its Commander, Von der Chevallerie, knew that his forces were for the moment
only made up of the 83rd Infantry Division, freshly arrived from France, reinforced with some police battalions.
He decided then to split its 3 Regiments in the most important towns, Velikie Louki, Zurazh and Velizh, to act as
breakwaters to the advancing Soviet waves. In Velizh, Lieutenant-Colonel Sinzinger saw himself and his 257th
Infantry Regiment totally encircled on January 29. Constantly attacked and lacking artillery, Sinzinger still
received the following radio message: Hold firm! The relief is closing.

2. Extreme Winter is in effect (E3.74) [EXC: B#/X# of German AFV mounted SWs/Guns and/or from SWs/Guns in

3. Trenches are connected to ADJACENT Building Locations. Infantry units do not expend MFs to enter/exit the
Trench and are not subject to Snapshot if they enter/Exit a Building Location without using bypass. VBM is allowed
to Vehicles otherwise allowed to enter a Trench Location (according MPs must be spent and Bog must be rolled).
4. The first time a German non-crew MMC from KG Richter enters a board 12 multi-hex Building, all the remaining
MMCs from the 257th Infantry Regiment become Fanatic and all Russian MMCs see their GO ML reduced by 1 for
the rest of the scenario (Broken ML stay the same)
AFTERMATH: Thanks to Estonian and Lithuanian volunteers infiltrating

the Russian positions, the Germans evaluated the enemy forces at near
30,000 men. Sinzinger, lacking ammunition (the Luftwaffe paradropped
his Iron Cross), knew he couldnt hold much longer. However, facing
badly coordinated attacks, the defenders each time concentrated a sufficient volume of fire on the critical spot. On 17 February, hearing the booming of guns to the Northwest, the defenders knew that their 20 day ordeal
was about to end. But the Soviets knew that too. For the last time they
launched all their forces into the battle to enter Velizh before the arrival of
the German reinforcements. Several times, assault elements succeeded in
deeply entering the town, but they were defeated and pushed back with the
help of the reinforcements. Velizh was finally freed, this showing, like in
Velikie Louki, Demiansk or Kholm, the efficiency of the breakwaters.
TERMINUS SENED
SENED railway station, 24 January 1943:

At the end of January 1943, the Axis forces had the initiative over the Allied forces
in Tunisia. The French-American units in the Faid and Gafsa sector had the mission
of protecting the southern flank of the British First Army. General Fredendall, commandant of the American 2nd Corp, couldnt make up his mind on the appropriate
strategy. He finally decided to launch an attack on the little town of Maknassy.
Despite the criticism of several French and American officers that feared to reveal to
the enemy the main objective of the attack, Fredendall ordered a preliminary raid on
Sened Station, west of Maknassy. With this aim in view, elements of Combat
Command C of the First Armored Division left Gafsa on 24 January at dawn. The
German-Italian garrison of Sened was taken by surprise by the double flanking attack.

may be marked with the Tactiques RR overlays (RR1 and RR2), or any convenient counters. These Railway hexes are
all GLRR (B32). Place a Wooden rubble counter in 4N3 and 4P4.
2. The Americans receive a 100+mm OBA module (HE and Smoke) with the first access being automatic (take out a black
chit from the draw pile). The module is directed by an offboard observer secretly placed before Axis setup on Level 2 on
the west edge of board 4.
3. At the beginning of each of Turns 2-4, the Americans setup offboard the units that will enter during the Turn. Each unit
placed in setup and that does not enter the playing area during the American Turn is eliminated (and count toward CVPs).
All American units that have not setup on turns 2 or 3 must do it on Turn 4. The American sniper is placed at beginning
of the Turn when the first American infantry unit sets up offboard.
4. Before Axis setup, The American player secretly notes 3 Pre-Registered hexes. After his Turn 1 setup, a FFE:1 is placed
on each of this 3 hexes, rolled for accuracy [C1.732], resolved as a 70mm+ HE FFE and taken off the playing area.
5. The M3 (MMG) inherent squad is a 5-4-6.
The tanks of the 13th Armored Regiment approached the

railway station from the south while shelling the enemy
positions. The infantry cautiously followed the tanks.
Despite the shelling downpour, the Italian artillery crews
managed to damage a Lee. The American west group
encountered weak resistance. Two German armored cars
lured the American tanks into a minefield (two Lees were
immobilized) but one armored car was hit and destroyed.
Despite these few losses, the attack was successful; the
attackers returned to the bivouac with a hundred prisoners
and only 2 wounded among them. The GI.s, proud of their
victory, appeared ready for the future fights.
COMBAT FOR A TOWER

ST. NAZAIRE EN ROYANS (DRME), FRANCE, 20 July 1944:

German troops prepared their assault on the Vercors: when the 157th Mountain
Infantry Division got ready to attack on the northern and eastern sides, other troops
blocked the access (and the exit) of the mountain to the south and west. On the west
side, in the little village of St. Nazaire en Royans, one of the gates to the Vercors
mountain, the company of Lieutenant Sabatier took position.

characteristics are accordingly modified as follow: Normal Size, 10 MPs, Red MPs, ESB use French
DRMs. All other characteristics remain unchanged.
3. Partisans use US and British SWs without captured penalties. The Baz 44 suffers from Ammo Shortage.
The SWs carried by the Partisans are kept offboard (with owners secretly noted) and placed onboard on
their first use. Partisan cant from multi-location FGs.
4. Germans have no PF capability.
AFTERMATH:
The Germans attacked St Nazaire from

the rear by crossing the Manne Bridge. The Partisans withdrew a hundred meters toward the St .Nazaire tower.
Around 1500, the attackers tested the 12th company defenses, who resisted and succeeded to hold their positions until
0300. Lieutenant Sabatier then was ordered by the Vercors
HQ to withdraw toward the Escalier Straits, this because
the 157th Mountain Division had started its attack on the
northern and southern sides of the mountain. The Vercors
drama was beginning.
HIMMLERS HOUSE
BERLIN, GERMANY, 29 April 1945:

Despite the defenders heavy fire, assault groups from the first battalions of the 756th
and 380th Infantry Regiment of the 150th Division succeeded in crossing the Moltke
bridge during the night and established a bridgehead in the building on the corner of
Kronprinzen Avenue. Before launching the assault of the Reichstag, a number of
strongpoints were to be cleared: Kroll Opera, Alsenstrasse buildings and particularly
the Department of Domestic Affairs building, otherwise called Himmlers House.
This last building had been completely fortified and its defenders still had the Moltke
Bridge under fire, preventing reinforcements from crossing it. General Peveretkine
ordered the seizing of the position. The attack began around 0700 after a 10 minute
artillery preparation.

AFTERMATH:
The Russian assault groups quickly entered the Department
of Domestic Affairs building but the clearing of the building was another matter. Fanatical, the German defenders
resisted resolutely, giving ground room by room only after
bloody close combats. The battle raged the whole day and
only the nighttime arrival of Russian reinforcements could
break the German resistance. The building was finally controlled by the Russians on 30 April, around 0430. At the
same time, small units from the 525th Regiment pushed up
to the Alsenstrasse. The Final Assault could start.
RED FLAG
BERLIN, GERMANY, 30 April 1945:

After the fall of the Kroll Opera, across the road from the Department of Domestic
Affairs, the Russians could finally concentrate on the Reichstag attack. The building,
whose windows were all walled up since the 1933 fire, impressively overlooked the
diplomatic block site. During the entire day of the 30th, the Russians launched
attacks that successively failed. Moreover, the anti-aircraft guns of the Tiergarten
Flak tower, only 3000 meters away, considerably hampered the troop progression.
But the day was not fully wasted since infantry and artillery reinforcements were
brought to support the final assault. At 1800, the last act of the Reichstag battle
begun.

6. HtH CC is in effect (J2.31).
AFTERMATH: The artillery support from the batteries located north of the Spree and
from the tanks and assault guns allowed the Russian assaulting infantry to quickly
progress. The defenders were however not disposed to surrender and several close
combats developed inside the building. The 150th Division followed to clean the
building. Although the issue was no longer in doubt, it was not until the 2nd of May
that the last defenders, hiding in the huge building, finally surrendered.
Tactiques Translation Errata

TAC 1: "Dropping off at Maleme"- Translator's note: The title for this one was
tossed back and forth many times. Argued extensively within the CFGG and also in
public forums such as the ASLML. There can be many translations of the title. The
one we chose seemed to be the best translation of the intended meaning.
TAC 23: "Midnight Bath at Tobruk"- This scenario generated a lot of talk when it's
translation was released. However, many found that setting it up on VASL was a
problem. Laurent Cunin has provided a VASL setup file for those wishing to have a
go at it.
Laurent Cunin's VASL set up file for "Midnight Bath at Tobruk"
TAC 25: "Nella Nebia"- The German setup area should read: "set up within 5 hexes

TAC 31: "By Saint Georges!"- On the turn chart, the Germans move first, not the
Americans. The Americans are not participants in this scenario. Or the war at this
date, either.
TAC 32: "Counterstroke In Connage" - SSR5 should read "[EXC: Plowed Field and

TAC 34: "Thulin Must Be Taken"- No elevation is specified for the Offboard
Observer. Because this was a Tactiques oversight, not a Coastal Fortress oversight,
we feel it best to leave the resolution to the players. One alternative is to allow the
Offboard Observer at a height no higher than the highest level on the playing area.
TAC 35: "In Spite Of All Opposition"- No elevation is specified for the Offboard
Observer. Because this was a Tactiques oversight, not a Coastal Fortress oversight,
